Optional Signalling Enhancements
(Not Available on 2 Channel Models)
PTT ID
When on a channel with the
PTT ID feature, the radio
transmits an identification
code (unit ID) to the base sta-
tion, indicating which portable
is in operation. This code is
sent whenever the PTT button
is depressed. A sidetone is
heard as the ID is being trans-
mitted; when the tone ends,
start your voice message in
the standard manner. The
LED glows red during the time
that the ID is sent out.
Call Alert (Decode)
Call Alert works similarly to tone-only pagers. When a Call
Alert (page) is received, a series of 4 beep decode tones
are heard while the LED flashes yellow. The LED continues
flashing yellow and the alert tone continues until the call
alert is acknowledged by the radio. If you transmit by push-
ing the PTT button or change the rotary channel selector
while a Call Alert signal is in progress, the LED stops flash-
ing and the Call Alert tone is disabled.
Voice Selective Call (Decode)
This feature operates like a standard pager providing a one-
time voice message. When a Voice Selective Call is received
by the radio, a one-time 2 beep decode tone is heard while
the LED flashes yellow. The radio unmutes and the voice
message is heard. The LED continues flashing yellow while
the voice message is heard. The Voice Selective Call feature
does not require any action to acknowledge the message
and after the transmission is completed, the radio returns to
normal operation.
