Questions
What happens if I am in queue to talk privately
(LED indicator blinking orange), then the per-
son that was transmitting finished talking and I
press the PTT button to talk but the Top button
LED indicator does not change to solid orange?
How do I know when the radio is no longer in
Private Mode conversation?

Call All Available
You can perform group call to all users available on different channels, and users who are not in an
on-going radio conversation. The Call All Available feature does not interrupt ongoing communications.
This feature is useful for users with more than one or two channels.
You have the option to program the Call All Available feature into Top button, or assign to a channel
using the Customer Programming Software (CPS).
The Call All Available feature allows a communication with all available radio users at once in a
temporary "super channel" group, without having to change through each channel individually.
You can respond to Call All Available transmission by pressing the PTT button.
When a caller initiate the Call All Available transmission, the Top button is disabled in all radios
involved. The Private Reply feature or Direct Call feature is disabled during this period.
The radio times out a Call All Available communication after four seconds of inactivity. The time out
prevents all users from being tied up indefinitely in an unnecessary group conversation.
Call All Available Scenario
All users in Channel 3 and 4 are available (nobody is transmitting).

Descriptions
The radio lets you know you are ready for a
private communication by turning the Top but-
ton LED indicator to solid orange and playing
the voice prompt "private" in the beginning. Dur-
ing the private conversation, it also plays a
distinctive Talk Permit Tone. All these different
prompts from the radio need to happen to en-
sure there is a private communication establish-
ed. If you do not have these prompts, it means
that you do not have private communication es-
tablished and you need to try again.
You are no longer in a private conversation if
the Top button LED indicator is not illuminating
solid orange and is either blinking or switched
off instead. The radio plays the voice prompt
"Private Over".
NOTE: Remember that the Private
Reply and the Direct Call time out af-
ter 10 seconds of inactivity in which
both users are sent back to the group
call mode. Radio plays the voice
prompt "Private Over" and the Top
button LED indicator goes off.
