Answering a Page
To answer a Page:

When a page is received, five beeps sound and “PAGE RECVD” (Standard Control

paging you is stored as the last ID received.

To clear or ignore the page, press any option switch. If the PTT switch is pressed, a
group call is placed on the selected channel.

To answer the page as a unit call (see Section 6.4), press the Unit Call option switch,
soft button (Lightning Control Head), or select the menu parameter. The Call Response
button, soft button (Lightning Control Head only), or menu selection can also be used.
If the ID of the radio paging you is in the Call list, the display will toggle between the
Calling ID and the Alias. If not, only the Calling ID is displayed. Press the PTT switch
and respond.

When the call is finished or it could not be completed for some reason, end it by
