2 If using the front panel controls, enter the telephone number by rotating and pressing
the Select switch. The 0-9, the
*, #, and P (pause) characters can be entered (# is
displayed as a “+”). Numbers up to sixteen digits (including pauses) can be entered,
and the number scrolls to the left in the display so that the ten right-most digits are
always displayed. With the HHC, enter the number using the DTMF keypad (a pause
indicated by “P” is entered by
* #).
3 Press and release the PTT switch and “DIALING” is displayed. Events that may occur
are as follows:
• If the access is successful, a dial tone sounds and the dialed number is displayed and
sent. Either ringing or a busy signal is then heard as with a standard telephone call.
When the called party answers, press the PTT switch to talk and release it to listen
(since the radio operates half-duplex, it is not possible to talk and listen at the same
time).
Each time the PTT switch is released, a go-ahead tone is sent to the landside party to
indicate when they can respond. To dial a number after the connection is made, press
the PTT switch and dial the number using the keypad on the HHC.
Ο If the selected telephone number is not valid, “INVALID” is displayed and an
alert tone sounds. Select a valid number.
Ο If the system is busy, “BUSY” is displayed and the busy tone sounds. The call
automatically proceeds when the system becomes available.
Ο If you are out-of-range or the radio cannot be accessed for some reason, “NO
PHONE” is displayed and an alert tone sounds.
Ο If the interconnect call you are making or the selected secure mode is not
authorized, “REJECT” is displayed and an alert tone sounds.
Ο If your radio does not have the proper encryption key, “KEYFAIL” is displayed
and the call must be made in the clear mode by pressing the Clear/Secure option
key (if strapped to switchable). Otherwise, load the correct key.
4 When the telephone call is finished or it could not be completed for some reason, end it
by pressing the PHONE option switch and placing the microphone back on-hook.
