Security
Sometimes when you are working, you may need to secure your radio from
unauthorised use. The easiest way to secure your radio is to lock the keypad
when your radio is not in use. Your radio may be customised with other

network users).
End-to-End Encryption

Note:
It is not possible to accidentally make a non End-to-End encrypted
call. Every talkgroup or individual subscriber that can be exempt from
End-to-End Encryption must be explicitly customised into the radio.
End-to-End Encryption is designed to provide maximum security for voice
and SDS communications, whether operating in Direct Mode or Trunked
Mode, irrespective of the security level provided by the network.
A radio that supports End-to-End Encryption may nevertheless be required
to make calls that are not End-to-End Encrypted. For example, calls to certain
talkgroups and individual subscribers may be customised to be exempt from
End-to-End Encryption. All telephone calls are also not End-to-End
Encrypted.
When dialling, a separate
Secure Comms icon is displayed in the dial box if
the call or SDS will be End-to-End encrypted. During voice calls only (not

with a soft key.
When you are in a voice call, the Secure Comms icon indicates whether End-
to-End Encryption is operational. When the radio participates in a call that is
