2.5.6 TELEPHONE CALLS
General
Telephone calls allow you to place and receive
calls over the public telephone system using your
transceiver. If your transceiver is programmed for tele-
phone calls (Phone option switch programmed), they
are placed and received as follows:
Placing a Telephone Call
Telephone calls can be placed by selecting the
number from a preprogrammed phone number list (list
entry) or by directly entering it using the microphone
keypad (direct entry). Proceed as follows:
List Entry Method
1. With a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel selected,
momentarily press the Phone option switch. The
phone mode is indicated by the
icon, and the
display indicates the alias of the last called tele-
phone number if it is in your phone number list.
Otherwise, the last called telephone number is
displayed.
2. Scroll through the list of telephone numbers by
rotating the Select switch until the desired number is
found. Press the Phone option switch again to cancel
the call.
3. Press the PTT switch to initiate the call. The display
indicates “DIALING” while the connection to the
phone system is occurring. Once connected, the
normal dial tone is heard and the alias of the number
being called is again displayed. The radio then auto-
matically dials the telephone number and the normal
ringing or busy tone is heard. Proceed to the bulleted
list following the next method for conditions that
may occur next.
Direct Entry Method (With DTMF Microphone Only)
1. With a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel selected,
press and hold the Phone option switch until a tone
sounds (approximately 1 second). The last phone
number called is displayed, and the phone mode is
indicated by the
icon.
2. Enter the number using the
0-9
, ,
and
#
keys. To
enter a pause (indicated by “P”), press
and then
#
. The number scrolls to the left in the display so
that the seven right-most digits are always
displayed. Numbers up to 16 digits (including
pauses) can be entered. To erase the last digit
entered, rotate the Select switch counterclockwise,
and press the Phone switch to cancel the call.
3. Press the PTT switch to initiate the call. The display
indicates “DIALING” while the connection to the
phone system is occurring. Once connected, the
normal dial tone is heard and the alias of the number
being called is again displayed. The radio then auto-
matically dials the telephone number and the normal
ringing or busy tone is heard. Any of the following
conditions may then occur.
•
After the called party answers, press the PTT
switch to talk and release it to listen. You cannot
talk and listen at the same time because the radio
cannot transmit and receive at the same time. Each
time the PTT switch is released, a tone is heard by
the other party that indicates when a response can
be made. To end the call when the conversation is
complete or at any other time, press the Phone
option switch again.
•
If equipped with an optional DTMF microphone, a
number can be dialed during a call.
•
If an out-of-range condition exists or the radio
system is not in service, “HANG UP” is displayed
and a continuous tone sounds. End the call by
pressing the Phone option switch.
•
If you are not authorized to make telephone calls,
“REJECT” is displayed and a continuous tone
sounds. End the call by pressing the Phone option
switch.
