programmed into the radio and selected for transmis-
sion.
Receiving An Individual Call
When an individual call (a call directed to only one
radio) is received, the radio will unsquelch on the
assigned channel and the "BSY" status flag will turn
on. "*INDV*", originators ID, or the caller’s name (if
programmed) is displayed and the "MSG" status flag
flashes. Adjust the volume as necessary.
Responding to an individual call prior to the pro-
grammed call-back time-out will automatically direct
the transmission to the originating unit. Follow the
instructions for sending a special call.
If the call is not answered, the "MSG" status flag
will remain flashing even after the individual call time-
out period expires. Press SPC (SPecial Call) to call
the originating unit back. The originator’s ID or name
will be displayed.
Sending A Special Call
Use the following procedure to send one of the
special calls programmed into the radio or to respond
to the last received individual or group caller.
1.
Press SPC. The radio enters special call
mode as indicated by the "SPC" status flag.
The last selected special call will be dis-
played. Scroll through the special call table
by pressing STEP or 2nd-STEP until the
desired special call name appears in the
display.
If no individual calls or group calls have been
received since the radio was turned on, two
(2) locations of the special call table will
display "ID" and "GR" respectively (no num-
ber will follow).
2.
Press and hold the PTT BUTTON. The radio
performs the necessary signalling required
to obtain a communications channel. When
the signalling is complete the "TX" status flag
turns on and the channel access tone
sounds. Speak into the microphone in a
normal voice. If the call was programmed for
private mode, it will be transmitted in private
mode ("PVT" status flag on).
3.
Release the PTT BUTTON when the trans-
mission is complete. Listen for a reply and
repeat step 2 as necessary.
