Making a Call

A group is simply a collection of channels grouped
together for scanning or voting. You select a group in
the same way as selecting a channel.
This section explains how to make a call using your
II
T2020 .
1 Select the appropriate channel for the party you wish
to contact (see "Selecting a Channel").
2 Check that the channel is free of traffic by observing
the BUSY indicator – if it is illuminated the channel is
already in use and you must wait. If your radio is
preprogrammed for off-hook monitoring' you will hear
any other traffic when you lift the microphone from its
clip.
3 Hold the microphone about 5cm from your mouth
and press the PTT key. Pause briefly to ensure your
first word is not cut off, then speak clearly, identifying
yourself and the person you wish to contact by your
call signs (for example "Mobile-9 to Base"). Release
the PTT key when you have finished talking.
4 When you receive a reply, proceed with your
conversation as described below.
The PTT key on the side of the microphone switches the
radio between transmit and receive modes. Each time
the radio transmits, the TX indicator appears in the
display.
To speak, press the PTT key and then release to listen.
