Privacy

If enabled, this feature helps to prevent eavesdropping by

unauthorized users on a channel by the use of a software-

based scrambling solution. The signaling and user identification

portions of a transmission are not scrambled.

Your radio must have privacy enabled on the channel to send a

privacy-enabled transmission, although this is not a necessary

requirement for receiving a transmission. While on a privacy-

enabled channel, the radio is still able to receive clear

(unscrambled) transmissions.

Your radio supports Enhanced Privacy. To unscramble a

privacy-enabled call or data transmission, your radio must be

programmed to have the same Key Value and Key ID as the

transmitting radio.

If your radio receives a scrambled call that is of a different Key

Value and Key ID, you will hear nothing at all.

The green LED lights up while the radio is transmitting and

double blinks when the radio is receiving an ongoing privacy-

enabled transmission.

NOTE: Some radio models/locations may not offer this Privacy

feature. Check with your dealer or system administrator

for more information.
