Conventional Radio Features
Answering a Selective Call
When a Selective Call is received, two high-pitched tones
sound and the display alternates between CALL RCV and the
home display.
1 Press within 20 seconds of receiving the call. (This
time is programmable by a qualified radio technician.)
The display shows the ID number of the calling unit.
2 To respond to the call, press the PTT button and talk.
If 20 seconds pass before you press , you will not
respond privately to the call just received. Instead, when you
press , you enter the Selective Call state, as
described in “Selective Call (Digital Modes Only)” on page 65.
If the system is busy when you attempt to answer the call, a
telephone-type busy tone sounds and your radio’s BUSY
indicator lights. When a channel becomes available, you
receive a call back, and your radio automatically keys up for
three seconds so that you can begin talking.
Note: If you do not press before pressing the PTT
button, your conversation will be heard by all members of
the talk group.
