6 Question: How exactly does Private Reply work?
Answer: When you press the radio Top button while
User B is talking, your radio “captures” the ID of radio
B. Once user B finished talking and you press the PTT
button, your radio calls radio B privately.
7 Question: What happens if I want to end the call during
a Private Call or Direct Call conversation?
Answer: If you are the user who initiated the Private
Reply or Direct Call, you can end the call by long
pressing the Top button. However, if you are the call
receiver, you have to wait for the radio to time out (i.e.
no communications detected for more than 10 seconds)
OR change the channel.
8 Question: I pressed the Top button to queue to talk
privately to the last person transmitting, but when the
user finished talking and I push the PTT button to talk,
the radio gave me a busy tone or other strange tones
and I could not initiate my conversation.
Answer: It is likely there are other users who were
waiting as well to talk to the last person transmitting
and someone else pressed the PTT button before
you, giving you a busy or error tone. Another reason
is that the last person transmitting has gone out of
transmission range.

Direct Call) and I forgot that I wanted to talk privately
and I did not push the PTT button:
• Question: Would I be still able hear the group
conversations in my channel if I do not press the PTT
button?
Answer: Yes, you should be able to still hear
conversations in your channel.
• Question: How long do I have to talk privately to User
B?
Answer: There is no time restriction on how long you
can take to press the PTT button to talk privately to
user A, as long as your Top button LED indicator is
blinking.
• Question: Does the radio gives me any alert to know
that I am in still in the private queue mode?
Answer: Yes. While waiting in queue to talk privately,
you will receive a call reminder tone after 1 minute of
being in queue, followed by another reminder tone
4 minutes after that. No other reminder is heard
afterwards, but you remain in queue until Private
Reply mode is exited.
