DSC Operation
Receiving an Individual Call
When another station makes an Individual call to your radio,
the individual alarm will sound, the caller will be identified
on the LCD and your radio will be switched to the channel
selected by the caller. Press any button to turn off the alarm.
To receive an individual call:
1. Press the Talk button and greet the caller —
almost as if you were answering the telephone.
Sending a Group Call
Sending a Group call is very similar to sending an individual call, except that
the group MMSI is used and the resend and DSC responses do not apply.
To send a group call:
1. In Standby mode, select a channel on which you want
to communicate.
2. Press the Call/Set button to enter the Call Send menu.
3. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll to
GROUP
.
4. Press the Call/Set button to move to the send
or exit menu.
5. Use the Up/Down buttons to select
SEND
or
EXIT
.
6. Press the Call/Set button to send the message or
return to the Call Send menu if
EXIT
was chosen.
All radios will be switched to the channel selected in
step 1. Press and hold the Talk button to send your
voice message to everyone in the group.
Anyone in the group can now also transmit on
that channel.

Sending an Individual Call
The DSC Individual call feature allows you to notify one, and only one,
station that you want to communicate with that station. It does not alert all
other stations within range that you will be sending a message as a voice
call on Channel 16.
To send an individual call:
1. In Standby mode, select a channel on which you
want to communicate.
2. Press the Call/Set button to enter the Call Send menu.
3. Use the Up/Down buttons to scroll to
INDIV
(Individual.)
4. Press the Call/Set button to move to the individual directory.
5. Use the Up/Down buttons to select the name you
want to call from the directory.
6. Press the Call/Set button to send the message or
return to Standby mode if
EXIT
was chosen.
If the radio you are calling sends back an automatic DSC
response of “able to comply”, the individual alarm will
sound. Wait for a voice message from the called station.
If the called radio does not send an “able to comply”
response, your radio will wait eight seconds and
resend the message.
If an “unable to comply” response or no reply is
received, your radio will go to the Unavailable menu.
At the Unavailable menu, you can choose
SEND
or
EXIT
with the Up/Down buttons. If you choose
SEND
,
your radio will restart the individual call. If you choose
EXIT
you will be returned to the individual location
on the Call Send menu.
