Call procedure
When your system employs tone signaling (excluding CTCSS
and DTCS), a call procedure may be necessary prior to voice
transmission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective
calling system which allows you to call only specific station(s),
and prevents unwanted stations from contacting you.

cording to your System Operator’s instructions.

• Refer to pages 10 and 11 for selection.
w
Push [Call] (assigned to one of the dealer programmable
keys).
