Trunking Operation
Note: If you are out of range of the trunked system, the display
shows
NO PHONE, and a continuous low-pitched tone
sounds. Press the HOME or Phon button to resume normal
operation.
If the trunked phone interconnect is in use or the phone
interconnect is out of service, a telephone-type busy tone
sounds, and the display shows
PHON BSY (W7) or PHONE
BUSY
(W9). Your number is automatically dialed when the
phone interconnect becomes available. If you hang up, you
lose your place in the queue.
If the display shows
PHON BSY (W7) or PHONE BUSY (W9)
with a low-pitched tone, rather than a telephone-type busy
tone, the call is not queued. You must hang up and try again.
If your radio is programmed for live overdial, every digit
pressed after the phone call is established is sent to the
telephone system.
If your radio is programmed for buffered overdial, the digits
pressed are entered into the radio’s memory, and they are all
sent together when the PTT button is next pressed. You
cannot send digits and talk on the same PTT button press. If
you press the PTT button to send the digits, you must
release the PTT button and press it again to transmit.
5 When the call is completed, press the HOME or Phon button to
hang up and return to normal operation.
