Conventional Mode Features
4 When a Unit Call is received, “Call Recvd” and the alias of the unit ID are alternately
flashed.
5 To respond, select the Unit Call mode by pressing the Unit Call option button or
selecting the menu parameter.
If the call timer times out (set by programming) then “Timeout” is displayed and error
tone sounds. If the channel is changed before a response is made, the unit call mode is
exited.
5.13.9 P25 Conventional Telephone Calls
Telephone calls can be placed and received on P25 conventional channels. For P25
Trunked/Conventional/Smartnet/SmartZone Telephone Calls, the Land Mobile Radio
System must be connected to a telephone system. Users should check with the System
Administrator to see if Telephone Calls are allowed on their system. Telephone calls are
programmed to operate in one of the following modes:
• Disabled.
• Answer-only capability.
• List only - Telephone numbers can be selected from a pre programmed list only (direct
entry using the keypad is not allowed).
• Unlimited - Telephone numbers can be selected from a list and also dialed directly
using the keypad.
Both limited and DTMF keypad models can place telephone calls by recalling the
telephone number from a pre programmed list as just described. However, only DTMF
keypad models can directly dial telephone numbers using the keypad.
5.13.9.1 Access / De-Access Codes
P25 conventional telephone calls use an access code to access the system when placing a
telephone call, and a de-access code to terminate the call when it is finished. These codes
are pre programmed in pairs, and up to 255 pairs can be programmed. Each conventional
P25 channel can be programmed to automatically select one of these code pairs. They
must match the system codes, and the default code is *1P# (the P represents a pause).
5.13.9.2 Placing a Telephone Call
To recall from a list:
1 Select the conventional channel that is programmed to select the desired access and de-
access codes.
