Each talkgroup may have one associated Announcement
Talkgroup (ATG) that it monitors (if set up by your Service
Provider).
An ATG is a special group which is linked to a number of
talkgroups and has the highest priority level, thus enabling
broadcast of the call to all these talkgroups.
When an ATG is selected, the scanning icon is not displayed.
The MTM800E monitors the ATG scan list instead of the
selected scan list. The ATG scan list contains all the
talkgroups associated with a selected ATG. Your Service
Provider should advise what talkgroups are associated with
which Announcement Talkgroup.
Your MTM800E will always monitor the Group Calls in the
ATG scan list. To place an Announcement Call, you must first
select the specified Announcement Talkgroup as advised by
your Service Provider, otherwise you will only be able to
participate when an Announcement Talkgroup is received.
Activation and deactivation of talkgroup scanning has no
effect on the ATG scan list.
Selecting a Group
You can select a talkgroup in one of the following ways, by
using the:
• rotary knob
• navigation key
• alphabetical search
• folder search
• numeric keypad entry - Speed Dialing (if configured by
your Service Provider)
For group scrolling configuration, see page 40.
When you navigate in the favorite folders and select a DMO
group, your terminal will switch between TMO and DMO (and
vice-versa).
