If set up by your dealer, you will be unable to transmit on a conventional channel
if it is already in use. Under these circumstances, use a different channel or wait
until the channel becomes free.
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can transmit overtop
of the current signal:
1 Press and hold the microphone PTT switch.
If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.
2 Release the microphone PTT switch, then press and hold the microphone PTT
switch again within half a second.
3 Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.

On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate when it
is out of range. When it can no longer communicate with any site, an out of range
tone sounds and “OUT OF RANGE” appears on the display.
SiTe TrunKing
On Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate a
network condition on the registered site. When the transceiver receives a network
disabled message, “SITE TRUNK” appears on the display.
conTrol chAnnel hunT
On Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for a control channel. While
searching for a control channel, no signals can be received. The search begins
automatically when you change to a Trunking channel.
pTT id
PTT ID is a unique transceiver ID code which is sent each time the microphone
PTT switch is pressed.
Note: PTT ID can be made only in FM Operation.
If Beginning of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press the
microphone PTT switch.
If End of Transmit is set, the ID signal is transmitted when you release the
microphone PTT switch.
If both are set, the ID signal is transmitted when you press and release the
microphone PTT switch.
