Chapter 9 : Special Radio Call Features
Descriptions
if the Top button was pressed outside the four
seconds Group Hang Time.
The radios allow for "Group Hang Time"
(around four seconds) for you to be able to Pri-
vate Reply to someone who had just finished
talking. Push the Top button within the hang
time window and the radio Top button LED indi-
cator starts blinking orange. You can then press
the PTT button to talk privately.
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.
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 ra-
dio to time out (no communications detected for
more than 10 seconds) or change the channel.
It is likely there are other users who were wait-
ing as well to talk to the last person transmitting
and someone else pressed the PTT button be-
fore you, giving you a busy or error tone. Anoth-
er reason is that the last person transmitting
has gone out of transmission range.
There is no time restriction on how long you
can take to press the PTT button to talk private-
ly to user A, as long as your Top button LED
indicator is blinking.
Yes. While waiting in queue to talk privately,
you will receive a call reminder tone after one
minute of being in queue, followed by another
reminder tone four minutes after that. No other
reminder is heard thereafter, but you remain in
queue until Private Reply mode is exited.
Long press the Top button to exit the private
queue mode. The Top button LED indicator
turns off. Press the PTT button to reply to the
group call.
