to communicate.

or exit menu.

SEND

or

EXIT

.

return to the Call Send menu if

EXIT

was chosen.

All radios will be switched to the channel selected in
step 1. Press and hold the

Talk button to send your

voice message to everyone in the group.

Anyone in the group can now also transmit on
that channel.
