Answer: It can be due to different causes such as the
Top button is disabled or the radio could not store the
radio ID you wanted to reply to (this is if the Top button
was pressed outside the four seconds Group Hang
Time).
5 Question: What happens if I want to Private Reply to a
person that just finished talking?
Answer: The radios allow for "Group Hang Time"
(around four seconds) for you to be able to Private
Reply to someone who had just finished talking. Push
the Top button within the hang time window and the
radio Top button LED indicator starts blinking
orange.You can then press the PTT button to talk
privately.
6 Question: How exactly does Private Reply work?
Answer: When you press the radio Top button while
User B is talking, your radio "captures" the ID of radio B.
Once user B finished talking and you press the PTT
button, your radio calls radio B privately.
7 Question: What happens if I want to end the call during
a Private Call or Direct Call conversation?
Answer: If you are the user who initiated the Private
Reply or Direct Call, you can end the call by long
pressing the Top button. However, if you are the call
receiver, you have to wait for the radio to time out (i.e.
no communications detected for more than 10 seconds)
OR change the channel.
8 Question: I pressed the Top button to queue to talk
privately to the last person transmitting, but when the
user finished talking and I push the PTT button to talk,
the radio gave me a busy tone or other strange tones
and I could not initiate my conversation.
Answer: It is likely there are other users who were
waiting as well to talk to the last person transmitting and
someone else pressed the PTT button before you,
giving you a busy or error tone. Another reason is that
the last person transmitting has gone out of
transmission range.

Direct Call) and I forgot that I wanted to talk privately
and I did not push the PTT button:
