Receiving Communication When your PMR unit is turned on and is not being used to transmit voice communication or pages, it is always in the listening mode. You cannot receive any transmissions when the PTT or CALL buttons are pressed, even if you aren't saying anything. Pressing these buttons automatically overrides and turns off the receive mode. 7 SCAN mic When you are using the unit in conversation, you must release the PTT and/or CALL buttons to hear the responses of the other people. Failure to do so will keep your unit in transmission mode, preventing you from hearing other units.
