Monitor
The monitor function is used to check that the channel is clear
before you make a call. While monitor is on, the green LED
flashes continually.
Activating monitor

the signalling mute and allow you to hear any traffic on
the channel.
Your radio may be programmed to activate monitor whenever
the microphone is off the microphone clip.
2 Press the monitor function key again to turn monitor off. The
green LED no longer flashes.
Activating squelch override

second to override both squelch and the signalling mutes.
This allows you to hear even faint and noisy signals. While
squelch override is on, the green LED flashes continually.

quiet state.
Squelch cannot be overridden when the radio is scanning.
