46 Operating in conventional mode
Checking that a channel is clear
You or your user group may be segregated from other user
groups by special signalling. If an incoming call carries the
special signalling tones specific to you or your user group,
your radio’s signalling mute opens and you can hear the call.
The monitor function may allow you to override any special
signalling on a channel, so that you can check that the
channel is clear before you make a call.
Your radio may be programmed to activate monitor
whenever the microphone is off the microphone clip.
To activate monitor you may be able to either:
■ remove the microphone from the microphone clip, or
■ use a programmed function key.
Activating monitor by using a function key
1 Press the monitor function key to activate monitor and
hear any traffic on the channel.
While monitor is on, the green LED flashes slowly.
2 Press the monitor function key again to turn monitor off,
or wait for monitor to turn off automatically, after a
programmed delay.
When monitor turns off, the green LED stops flashing.
Your radio may be programmed so that monitor turns off
automatically after a short time.
