Trunking Operation
4 Choose one of the following conditions that applies to your
current call:
• If the receiving unit answers, identify yourself and begin your
Private Conversation.
• If, after a programmable time period, you are not connected,
the display shows
NO ACK and a momentary, low-pitched
tone sounds.
Try again, or press the HOME or Call button to return to
normal operation.
• If you are out of the system’s range, a low-pitched tone
sounds.
Try again, or press the HOME or Call button to return to
normal operation.
• If the system is busy when you attempt to make a call, the
radio you are calling hears a telephone-type busy tone.
When a channel becomes available, the called radio
receives a call back and automatically keys up for three
seconds so that conversation can begin.
5 To return to normal operation, press the HOME or Call button.
Note: If you do not press the HOME or Call button to hang up,
your unit will remain in the Private Conversation state with
the other unit. You will miss all subfleet traffic and incoming
phone calls.
