Both limited and DTMF keypad models can be programmed to recall the unit IDs from a
preprogrammed list. However, only DTMF keypad models can be programmed to directly
dial unit IDs.
6.4.1 Placing an Enhanced Private Conversation Call
To recall from a list:
1 Momentarily press the Private Call option key or select that menu parameter and the
alias of the last called radio is displayed. The private call mode is indicated by
in
the display.
2 If required, select another radio by pressing the Up/Down switch until the alias of the
desired radio is displayed.
3 Press the PTT switch of the <F2> key to initiate the call.
(Proceed to the bulleted list which follows Item 3 in the next section for events that may
occur next.)
To make a direct entry using the DTMF keypad:
1 Press and hold the Private Call option key until a tone sounds (approximately one
second). The last ID called is displayed, and the private call mode is indicated by
in the display.
2 Using the 0-9 keys, dial the ID of the radio you are calling (five digits for Private calls
and eight digits for Unit calls). To erase the last digit, press the Down key, and to cancel
the call, press the Private Call Option key again.
3 Press the PTT switch to initiate the call. If the entered number is valid, the display
indicates the alias of the ID if it matches an ID in the call list. Otherwise, the ID you
entered continues to be displayed.
Events that may then occur are as follows:
- If the radio being called is on the air, “Wait” is displayed and ringing is heard until
the called party answers or for 20 seconds, whichever occurs first. Pressing the PTT
switch or an option key stops the ringing but not the call. When the call is answered,
the voice of the called party is heard.
- If the called radio does not answer within 20 seconds, a continuous tone sounds and
“No Ans” is displayed.
- If the called radio is not on the air, a continuous tone sounds instead of the ringing
tone and “No Ack” is displayed.
- If the busy tone sounds and “Busy” is displayed, the called radio has answered the
call but the system is busy. When the system is no longer busy, the call back tone
sounds.
