Tait TP8110 User Manual - Selecting A Channel

36

Selecting a channel

In order to make and receive calls, you first need to select a 

channel, using the channel selector. Each position on the channel 

selector denotes a channel.

To select a channel:

■

Turn the channel selector clockwise or counterclockwise to the 

required position.

Selecting a group

The channel selector can also be used to select groups. A group is 

a collection of channels that are grouped together for either 

scanning or voting.

To select a group:

■

Turn the channel selector clockwise or counterclockwise to the 

required position.

Checking that a channel is clear

You or your user group may be segregated from other user groups 

by special signaling. If an incoming call carries the special 

signaling tones specific to you or your user group, your radio’s 

signaling mute opens and you can hear the call. These tones may 

not be audible.

The monitor function allows you to override any special signaling 

on a channel, so that you can check that the channel is clear 

before you make a call.

To activate monitor:

1

Press the assigned function key.

While monitor is on, the LED slowly flashes green.

2

Press the monitor function key again to turn monitor off.

Your radio may be programmed so that monitor turns off 

automatically after a short time.
