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
To Answer 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. If the PTT switch is pressed, a
group call is placed on the selected channel.
3 To answer the page as a private or unit call (see Section 6.4), press the Private Call
option switch. 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 mobile 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 mobile 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 mobile being called is not on the air or does not answer, you will not hear a
response.
- When the call is finished or it could not be completed for some reason, end it by
pressing the Call option switch and placing the microphone back on-hook.
6.6.2 Initiating a Page
To initiate a page by recall from a list:
1 With a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 trunked channel selected, momentarily press
the ALERT option switch. The tag (alias) of the last ID called is displayed.
