Press PTT before you start talking and release PTT after
you have finished speaking.
Your radio doesn’t allow you to talk and receive
simultaneously, so keep your transmission short. When
you are transmitting, other people can not. Use common
sense and do not occupy the channel too much.
The radio might be programmed with a timeout timer
which will automatically end your transmission after a
preset time. In this case release PTT and wait for a few
seconds. The radio transmitter will be enabled again after
a few seconds. Ask your dealer or communications
coordinator for further details.
The radio might be programmed for busy channel lock
out, which automatically disables the transmitter if your
channel is busy. In this case wait until the channel is
clear.
Scanning Channels
If you have more than one channel programmed, your MO-1008
/ MO-4008 / MO-1016 / MO-4016 may be programmed to allow
you to scan them. To activate scan press and release the
programmed function button. The radio will begin checking all
channels in the scan list for activity. The scan icon will blink while
the radio is scanning. To turn scan off press and release the
programmed function button again. If beeps are enabled a high
pitched beep will sound when scan is activated and a lower
pitched beep will sound when scan is turned off.
The scan list is programmed by your dealer or communications
coordinator. Your dealer may also have designated one or two
channels in the scan list as a priority channel. The priority
channel is checked for activity more often than other channels in
the scan list. The priority channel may also be checked for
activity while the radio is receiving on a non-priority channel.
