SmartNet / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
6.5 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.
6.5.1 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 button. 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 6.3), press the Private 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 Private Conversation 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.
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.
• When the call is finished or it could not be completed for some reason, end it by
pressing the Private Call option button or the <F1> (Exit) button.
6.5.2 Initiating a Page
To initiate a page:
1 With a SmartNet/SmartZone or P25 Trunked channel selected, momentarily press the
Call Alert option button or select that menu parameter. The alias of the last ID called is
displayed.
2 If required, press the Up/Down buttons to display the desired radio. The alias of each
number is displayed.
