Receiving calls
When you receive a call, the radio will display the callers
identity (see page 25) and respond in one of two ways,
depending upon the system configuration and how the
radio is programmed.
n
The radio will give a medium-pitched warble and
automatically accept the call. The LED will glow green
to indicate that the radio has switched to a traffic
channel. The display will read
GO
. Press the PTT to
proceed with the call.
This is known as on-air call setup.
n
The radio will give a long high-pitched tone every 1.5
seconds. Accept the call by giving a brief press of the
PTT. The display will read
WAIT
until a traffic channel
has been allocated. The radio will then give two short
medium-pitched beeps, the LED will glow green and the
display will read
GO
to indicate that the radio has
switched to a traffic channel. Proceed with the call.
This is known as full off-air call setup, or FOACSU.
In either case, if you do not wish to accept the call, give a
short press of the clear key ( ) or change to another
position on the 16-way selector.
When you have finished your conversation, either:
n
give a short press of the clear key ( ); or
n
change to another position on the 16-way selector.
This will indicate to the network that you have finished the
call, and it can then clear down the traffic channel for other
calls. The radio will give five short, low-pitched beeps and
the radio will return to the idle state.
