FiveM Interface

Mobile Radio
The In-Game Mobile Interface:
To close the radio press the ESC button. When you first spawn into the server, your radio is turned off. So you will have to turn it on using the Power Button.
This Radio is your primary interface when you're out and about, the picture above shows the different functions of the different options of the Mobile Radio, on the status indicator the colors mean:
Status Color: Gray
If you are disconnected from TeamSpeak the indicator will be gray.
Status Color: Blue
If you are connected to TeamSpeak, the indicator will be blue.

If you are logged into the CAD system, the radio status indicator will be green. When your status indicator is green, your radio panic button will activate your panic through the CAD, and you can view basic call information by clicking on the Call Details button.
Changing Frequencies
To change your current frequency, either use the dial on the top of the radio, use the keybinds that you set in the Keybinds Menu, or click on the change frequency icon. In the change frequency menu, you can either set a custom frequency or you can select a preset. You can click on either side of the knob on the top of the radio to go to the previous or next preset.
The Custom Frequency will only work as a talk-around frequency to local radios on the same frequency and cannot be used statewide as the towers are not programmed to pick up and repeat that frequency.
Using Preset Knob
You can click on either side of the preset selection knob to cycle through preset frequencies. Cycling through the next and previous frequencies can also be done via keybind. To set the keybinds, navigate to your game keybinds and set prev and next.
Using the First Preset Button
The button that resembles a house is a new button that you can click to automatically change to the first preset frequency. (Patrol Ops)
Scanning Frequencies
