4. Momentarily press the push-to-talk switch to acquire a dial tone. Then press the SEND key to transmit the
number in the display. A short tone then sounds to indicate that the call was accepted by the system. After this
tone sounds, the following ringing or second short tone sounds:
Ringing Tone - A ringing tone indicates that the other party is being rung. When the party answers, continue the call
as described in step e. If it is a telephone call and the line is busy, a busy tone will be heard. In this case, terminate
the call by pressing the # key.
Second Short Tone - A second short tone indicates that the path is complete and your message can be transmitted.
No ringing of the other party occurs. Proceed to next step.
5. Press the push-to-talk switch to talk and release it to listen as with standard calls. Since the path is one way, you
cannot hear the other party while the push-to-talk switch is pressed.
6. When the call is finished, it should be terminated by transmitting the # character. This character is sent automat-
ically by exiting the phone mode (pressing the PHON key) or manually by pressing the # key. Three beeps indi-
cate that the call has been terminated.
Receiving a Special Call
Proceed as follows:
1. Special calls are usually received regardless of the group selected if a system programmed for Multi-Net opera-
tion is selected or scanned. If a call requires that a certain system and group be selected, your system operator
will tell you which to select.
2. When “ringing” is heard, answer the call in the normal manner (press the push-to-talk switch to talk and release
it to listen). It is not necessary to select the phone mode to receive a special call.
3. When the call is finished, it is usually terminated by the originating party. If you do not hear the three rapid beeps
which indicate termination, press the # key to terminate the call.
Landside-Originate Calls
Calls can also be placed to mobiles from a landside telephone. If the system is designed so that mobiles can be
called directly, simply dial the telephone number of the mobile being called. If mobiles cannot be called directly,
proceed as follows:
1. Dial the number of the system. When the system answers, a beep is heard. You should then dial the special
number specifying the mobile being called. This number is supplied by your system operator, and it must be
dialed using a tone-type telephone.
2. Depending on the type of call, the landside caller then hears a ringing tone or a second tone which indicates
speaking can begin. Operation is similar to that described in “Placing a Special Call”.
