making the radio unnoticeable even in a silent and dark environment.
The Covert Solution is only available through One-touch button.

earpiece on the radio.

When paired with a Remote Control Unit (RCU), you are able to communicate using Mission Critical
Communication Tones. The RCU is a third-party device that sends out tones as beeps in a group call.
Pressing the button for tones on the RCU starts the group call and each press of the button produces
beeps which are heard by all recipients and the initiator. To transmit a voice call in Covert Solution on
the RCU, press the
PTT
button on the RCU. If an earpiece accessory is not connected to the radio, the
voice call is routed to the low audio speaker of the radio.
