Signalling mute
The radio’s signalling mute only allows the radio to unmute if
the incoming call carries the tones specific to your user
group. Your user group may use tones that are either audible,
subaudible or both.
Squelch
The radio’s squelch allows the radio to unmute only when the
strength of the incoming signal is above a predetermined
threshold. This means that only signals of reasonable intelli-
gibility are made audible.
Checking that a channel is clear
Use the monitor function to check that the channel is clear
before you make a call. While monitor is on, the green LED
flashes continually and the monitor icon is displayed.
To activate monitor, you can either:
■
use a function key that may have been programmed for
monitor, or
■
use the menu.
