Keep the PTT switch pressed until you have finished
speaking.

Do not shout! It will only create distortion.

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

Olympian™ mobile radio 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 initially 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
