RECEIVING A MESSAGE
1. Turn the radio on by rotating the On/Off-Volume control clock-
wise from the off (detent) position. After the radio has passed the
power-up self test, an optional tone will sound and the current
System and Channel will be displayed. If the unit fails the self test,
an error message will be displayed, or the display will be blank.
See Error Messages section.
2. Press the M (Shift/ Clr/Monitor) button and then use the up/down
arrow buttons to select a GE-MARC system. The SYS (System)
display will indicate the current System selected.
3. Use the up/down arrow buttons to select the desired Group.
The GRP (Group) display will indicate the current Group selected.
The radio is now ready to receive messages.
4. Using the Volume control knob, adjust the volume as necessary.
INDIVIDUAL CALL -
If an individual call (a call directed only to your
radio) is received, the radio unsquelches on the assigned channel.
The BUSY indicator and *INDV* (individual call) will display, and
the individual call received tones (one high followed by one low
tone) will sound unless programmed off.
GROUP CALL
- When the radio receives a group call, it unsquelches
on the assigned channel and displays the BUSY indicator. The Group
call received tone (single tone) will sound unless programmed off.
INTERCONNECT CALL
- If an interconnect call (a telephone call
directed to your radio) is received, the radio unsquelches on the
assigned channel and the BUSY indicator appears, along with
PHN CAL on the display. If the received tone set was the selected
Group tone set, then the radio will operate as it does when it
receives a Group call from another radio. If the tone set was the
selected System's individual call tone set, the radio will operate as
if it had received an individual call from another radio.
