Common Radio Features
Phone Call Display and Alert Prompts

sounds.

available, a busy tone sounds.
The radio will automatically
connect when a channel
opens.
• When the phone system is
busy, a long tone sounds.
Exit the phone mode and try
your call later.

acknowledge your call.
• If 123+21( or 12$&.12:/'*

your call, press
h or the PTT
button, to hang up. Radio
returns to the home display.
Notes: • You might need to dial an extension number after you
reach the number you called.
• A high-pitched tone, generated when you release the PTT
button, indicates to the landline party that he or she can
begin talking.
• You have the option of sending additional digits (overdial),
such as credit card or PIN numbers, to the phone system.
If the radio is programmed for live overdial, every digit
entered after the call is connected is sent to the phone
system.
• If the radio is programmed for buffered overdial, the digits
pressed are entered into memory and then sent when the
PTT button is pressed. Press the PTT to send either digits
or voice, but not both at the same time.
