5-Tone Signaling
5-tone signaling segregates a group of users from others
on a channel using a set of audible tones. Because each
radio has a unique identity, you can direct calls to
individuals or groups of individuals within your own
group. An emergency call may also been prepro-
grammed.
The Orca 5011 is able to make preset 5-tone calls only.
Receiving a 5-Tone Call
When a call is received that contains your radio’s
identity, the radio gives a ringing tone and the LED
indicator flashes amber. The ringing tone is prepro-
grammed, and the radio gives different ringing tones
when different types of calls are received.
To accept the call, press the PTT key and begin
speaking. If the call is a group call, there is usually no
need to respond.
Making a Preset 5-Tone Call
Two preset 5-tone calls can be assigned to each channel
that has 5-tone calling. If programmed, these calls are
assigned to a function key, and each channel that has 5-
tone may have different preset calls.
To make this call:
1
Change to the desired channel.
2
Press the assigned function key.
One-Touch Preset Calls
A single one-touch 5-tone call may also be assigned to
one of the function keys. It is not necessary to change
channels to send this call – simply press the assigned
function key.
