Basic Operations

Adjusting the Volume

Selecting a Zone
You can include a group of channels with the same property in to a zone for convenient management. The radio supports three zones, each of which consists of up to 16 channels. You can switch to the appropriate zone by pressing the programmed Zone Up or Zone Down key preset by your dealer.

Selecting a Channel
After the radio is powered on, you can rotate the Channel Selector knob to select an appropriate channel. You can also switch to the designated channel directly by pressing the programmed Preset Channel key preset by your dealer. If the Channel Notify feature is enabled by your dealer, the radio will play the channel number upon channel switching.

Call Services

After the radio is powered on, you can make different kinds of calls. To ensure optimal volume of the receiving radio, keep the microphone about 2.5 to 5 centimeters away from your mouth when transmitting.

The types of calls you may initiate are listed below:

• Private call: A call made to a private contact.
• Group call: A call made to the group contacts.
• All call: A call made to all the contacts on the current channel.

Calling on Digital Channel
You can initiate a private call, group call or all call (your radio must be programmed to allow you to use the all call service) through the same operations on digital channel. When calling back, the radio will make a call to the calling party in private call and all call (your radio must be programmed to allow you to call back in an all call); but in group call, the radio will make a call to all parties involved when calling back.

Here we take the private call as example to illustrate the call process:

1. User A and B select the same digital channel.

2. User A holds down the PTT key to initiate a call.
   You may preset a regular private call/group call/all call contact for each digital channel via your dealer.

3. By holding down the PTT key, user A can talk to the microphone when the LED indicator on the radio glows red.

4. User A releases the PTT key to finish talking.
   User A can hold down the PTT key to talk when the LED indicator on the radio is glowing orange.
   When receiving, the LED indicator on the radio glows green.

5. User B can receive the call without any operation. When receiving, the LED indicator glows green.

6. User B can hold down the PTT key to talk when the LED indicator on the radio is glowing orange.

Note
The duration of LED indicator glowing orange (Call Hold Time) is preset by your dealer. The call will end if neither one talks before this duration expires.

Calling on Analog Channel (No Signaling) ****
On the analog channel without signaling, the calling operations are the same as on the digital channel. The difference is that the called parties are all the users on the channel, rather than the preset contact for the channel.
Please refer to the corresponding Feature Book for calling operations on the analog channel with signaling.
