Trunking Operation
Answering an Enhanced Private Conversation Call
When a Private Conversation 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 Private Conversation Call state,
as described in “Initiating an Enhanced Private Conversation
Call” on page 76.
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.
