Using selective call
5-4 Outback HF Radiophone
Setting up selective call
There are several features that need to be set up before selective
call is used:
•
the preamble time period
•
the called address
•
the self-identification address
•
the beacon on or off.
You may cancel the procedure at any time by turning the
Radiophone off (press the On/Off button). Turning the
Radiophone off stores any changes you made to the features.
Once you have commenced this procedure, if no action is
required you can skip through all the features by repeatedly
pressing the Selective Call button.
Notes: A long preamble is required when scanning selective
calls.
The reason for a long preamble is that during scanning,
the preamble has to be present throughout the time it takes to
scan all eight selective call
channels.
Do not use identification addresses ending in ’00’ and
’99’ as they are used for the group call and beacon
facilities.
You must always enter information within 60 seconds
of pressing the Enter button, otherwise the Radiophone
reverts back to the normal mode.
