Push-to-Talk (PTT)
Selecting a Talkgroup
“Dispatch Radio,” or “Push-‐to-‐Talk” (PTT) mode is the default mode for the handset. (The “DR” in the
upper right corner of the handset display indicates this mode.) To use PTT mode, pick up the handset
and select a “talkgroup.” (Note: If the handset is currently set to the talkgroup you want, skip this step.)
A normal talkgroup can be selected as follows:
•
Press the GROUP soft key (i.e., the right side “Minus” sign key) on the handset and scroll
through the talkgroups with the up/down arrow keys until the desired talkgroup is illuminated.
•
Press the GROUP soft key again to select the desired talkgroup.
A private talkgroup for one-‐to-‐one push-‐to-‐talk operation can be selected as follows:
•
Press the GROUP
soft key (i.e., the right side “Minus” sign key) on the handset and scroll to the
Private Mode talkgroup (
tag 00
) using the up/down arrow keys.
•
Press the GROUP
soft key again to SELECT talkgroup 00, and a “?” will appear on the display
screen. Enter the four-‐digit Directory Number (
DN
) of the radio you want to call.
Note: To quickly change the DN while the radio is idle, press the # key to clear a previously used DN.
You will be prompted to enter a new DN.
