Pressing PTT on selection screen switches to a new group
and starts a call.
Each talkgroup may have one associated Announcement
Talkgroup (ATG) that it monitors (if set up by your Service
Provider).
An ATG is a special group which is linked to a number of
talkgroups and has the highest priority level, thus enabling
broadcast of the call to all these talkgroups.
When an ATG is selected, the scanning icon is not displayed.
The MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex monitors the ATG scan list
instead of the selected scan list. The ATG scan list contains
all the talkgroups associated with a selected ATG. Your
Service Provider should advise what talkgroups are
associated with which Announcement Talkgroup.
Your MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex will always monitor the Group
Calls in the ATG scan list. To place an Announcement Call,
you must first select the specified Announcement Talkgroup
as advised by your Service Provider, otherwise you will only
be able to participate when an Announcement Talkgroup is
received.
Activation and deactivation of talkgroup scanning has no
effect on the ATG scan list.
