GE-MARC OPERATION
SENDING A CALL, Continued
A sequence of five beeps will sound if the radio cannot access a
channel due to being out of range of the GE-MARC system or
an inoperative radio. Any subsequent call requests will be
ignored for 20 seconds. However, if the area is changed, a call
request may be initiated in the new area.
NOTE:
If the call retry option has been programmed and is
active, the radio will automatically try to acquire a channel
at 20 second intervals for five minutes before returning to the
normal area and group display.
When the channel has been acquired, the red TX indicator
lights and the BUSY icon will appear. If programmed, the
clear to talk tone will sound.
Hold the microphone about 3 inches from your mouth and
speak normally into the microphone. Release the P-T-T button
to listen for a reply.
