6.4.2 Answering a Telephone Call
To answer a telephone call:
1 When a telephone call is received, “ringing” similar to a standard telephone is heard.
What is displayed on an incoming call depends on the protocol you are in and if the
number came over the air and if phone number aliases are defined in the codeplug.
2 To answer the call, press the Phone option button or select that menu parameter and
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.
3 When the call is finished, end it by pressing the Phone option button or (Clear)
button.
6.5 Call Alert
The Call Alert™ feature allows pages to be sent and received. With SmartNet/SmartZone
operation, either the Enhanced or Standard mode may be programmed depending on the
capabilities of the radio system.
6.5.1 Answering a Page
To answer a page:
1 When a page is received, five beeps sound and “Page Receive” 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 button. If the PTT switch is pressed, a
group call is placed on the selected channel.
3 To answer the page as an unit call (see Section 6.3), press the Unit Call option button 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 Mode
• If the radio being called is on the air, ringing is heard until the called party answers or
until the system terminates the call; whichever occurs first.
