SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
6.6 Call Alert
The Call Alert™ feature allows pages to be sent and received. With SMARTNET/
SmartZone operation, either the Enhanced Private Conversation™ or Standard Private
Conversation mode may be programmed depending on the capabilities of the radio
system. With P25 Trunked operation, operation is similar to the enhanced mode.
6.6.1 Answering a Page
1 When a page is received, five beeps sound and “Page Rcvd” is displayed. The ID of the
radio paging you is stored as the last ID received.
2 To clear or ignore the page, press any option switch.
3 To answer the page as a private or unit call (see Section 6.4), press the Private Call
option switch or select that menu parameter. If the ID of the radio paging you is in the
call list, the display will toggle between the Calling ID and the alias. If not, only the
Calling ID is displayed. Press the PTT switch and respond. One of the conditions that
follow may also occur:
Enhanced Private Conversation Mode
• If the radio being called is on the air, ringing is heard until the called party answers or
for 20 seconds, whichever occurs first. If no answer occurs within 20 seconds, a
continuous tone sounds and “No Ans” is displayed.
• If the radio being called is not on the air, a continuous tone is heard instead of ringing
and “No Ack” is displayed.
Standard Private Conversation Mode
• If the radio being called is not on the air or does not answer, you will simply not hear a
response.
1 When the call is finished or it could not be completed for some reason, end it by
pressing the Private Call option switch or the <F1> (Exit) key.
6.6.2 Initiating a Page
1 With a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 Trunked channel selected, momentarily press
the Call Alert option switch or select that menu parameter. The alias of the last ID
called is displayed.
2 If required, press the Up/Down switch to display the desired radio. The alias of each
number is displayed.
