Making an Individual or Group
Call (Selcall)
You can use your radio to make calls to an individual or
a specific group using Selcall (selective calling).
Your radio is able to make preset Selcalls only.
Making a Preset Call
Two preset individual or group calls can be assigned to
each channel that has Selcall. If programmed, a preset
call will be assigned to a function key.
To make a preset call:
1
Change to the desired channel.
2
Press the assigned function key.
One-Touch Preset Calls
A single one-touch call may also be assigned to one of
the function keys.
To make a one-touch preset call:
■
Press the assigned function key.
Receiving an Auto Acknowledge Message
When you call another radio, it may automatically
generate a ringing tone sequence or beep to let you
know that the radio you have called is on and able to
receive. The tone sequence will vary depending on how
your radio has been programmed.
The auto acknowledge message may also contain a status
message that will appear in your radio’s display (see
‘About Status Messages’ on page 44).
