Making a Selective Call
Just like a Private Call, while you can receive and/or
respond to a Selective Call initiated by an authorized
individual radio, your radio must be programmed for
you to initiate a Selective Call.
1 Select the channel with the active subscriber alias
or ID. See Selecting a Channel on page 34.
2 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
3 Press the PTT button to make the call.
The LED lights up solid green. The Private Call
icon appears in the top right corner. The first text
line shows the subscriber alias. The second text
line displays the call status.
4 Wait for one of the following tones to finish (if
enabled), and speak clearly into the microphone.
• The Talk Permit Tone
•
The PTT Sidetone
5 Release the PTT button to listen.
When the target radio responds, the LED blinks
green.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is
enabled, you hear a short alert tone the moment
the transmitting radio releases the PTT button,
indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
Press the PTT button to respond.
If there is no voice activity for a predetermined
period of time, the call ends.
The display shows Call Ended.
