11. Callout
Callout is a feature where radio users are alerted about an incident that they
need to respond to. Usually the callout initiator sends a callout alert to radio
users in the field. The alert informs and holds the attention of the users as well
as gives the callout initiator indication about the available resources for the
incident.
Your radio can receive a callout alert at any time, except during an emergency
call or while in direct or repeater mode.
When your radio receives a callout alert, all incoming and outgoing calls are
disconnected and data transmission is paused for the duration of the callout.
Also local radio services such as alarm clock, writing text messages, etc. are
blocked.
The callout feature has two modes: full callout and simple callout. The callout
initiator chooses which one of these two modes will be used.
During the callout mode, you can:
•
receive group calls addressed to the callout group. The callout group is
either the current chosen group on the radio or the group that is sent to the
radio in the callout alert.
•
make group calls addressed to the callout group, if allowed in the callout
alert
•
make an emergency call. An emergency call will end the callout.
•
send and receive callout information messages (in full callout)
During the callout mode, you cannot:
•
send or receive status or text messages (other than callout incident
related)
•
use any local radio services
You can exit the callout state at any time by selecting
. Your
organisation can also parameterise the
key for the exit function.
