Call Queuing

If you need to leave your T2040

II

 unattended, incoming calls can be saved as ‘call-back’

messages for you to return later. All calls except group calls, PABX and PSTN calls can be
queued, as follows:

1

Enter

 using the keypad, or keep the 

Despatcher

 key (

) pressed until the

DESPATCHER

 indicator illuminates.

Incoming calls from other radios are now queued by your radio. The display shows the
number of queued calls on the left and the identity of the calling party on the right, in
the same way as a received call is displayed. The most recent call is displayed until you
scroll through the queue.

Press the 

PTT

 key to call the party shown on the display, or

3

Use the 

Up

 and 

Down

 keys (

/

) to scroll through the calls and choose an

unanswered call from the queue. Press the 

PTT

 key to make the call.

To clear a queued call from the queue without calling the party, select it and press the

Clear

 key (

 using the keypad, or keep the

 key

(

 indicator turns off. 

Incoming calls are now received normally. The call queue remains intact and you can
reinstate call queuing at any time.

Note:

With call queuing enabled, it is still possible to make calls by dialling any number, using 
the keypad.

Changing Trunked Networks

The T2040

II

 can operate in two completely separate trunking networks. To do this, the radio

must be programmed with the parameters of each network. You may wish to change networks
because you are out of reach of the current network (the 

SVC

 indicator is flashing) or you need

to have access to the second trunking network.

1

Press

If your radio has preset labels programmed to change networks, press the 

Alphanu-

meric

 key (

) and use the 

Up

 and 

Down

 keys (

/

) to find the name of

the new network. Briefly press the 

PTT

 key or the 

Hash

 key to (

) initiate the

change.

The radio displays the name of the new network, followed by a power-up message.

4

Check to see that the 

SVC

 indicator appears within a few seconds. If it keeps flashing,

you may be out of the coverage area of this network.
