4.3.2 Public correspondence call
A public correspondence call is a call made from a land-based
telephone which is routed via a coast station. This is only avail-
able in countries operating the necessary network.
Note At present, it is not possible to receive incoming calls on the
public correspondence network – calls can only be made from
the radio.
This section is for reference purposes only.
When a public correspondence call is received, the radio will
sound an incoming call alarm. The display will flash between
displaying “TEL CALL FROM” and the caller’s telephone
number. If the caller’s number is stored in the Telephone num-
ber directory (
see section 5.2 ), then the display will show the
name stored instead of the telephone number (Fig 4.12).
