Call procedure
When your system employs tone signaling (excluding CTCSS
and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective
calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only
and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
q
Select the desired TX code channel or 2/5-tone code ac-
cording to your System Operator’s instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to page 14 or 15 for selection.
w
Push [Call] (assigned to one of the dealer programma-
ble keys: [UP], [DOWN], [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], [RED] and
[Monitor]) or [PTT].

After transmitting a 2/5-tone code, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.
