Trunking Features

Answering an Enhanced Private Conversation Call

If you hear two alert tones (repeating

every 5 seconds for 20 seconds)

sound, CALL RCV and the present

mode are alternately displayed.

The Call-Received status annunciator

(F) blinks.

Note: If you do not answer within 20 seconds, the radio returns to

the home display.

1 Press the m button below CALL.

If your radio has a programmed call-response or call button,

press it to see the display shown in step 2. Proceed to step 3.

2 The display shows the last ID number

transmitted or received either as the

incoming caller’s ID number (Private

Conversation II).

Note: If you press the PTT button before you press the quick-

response button, your response is transmitted to everyone

in the talkgroup. Press the PTT button to answer the call.

3 A busy tone indicates the system is busy. If you hear a call-

back tone, a mode is available. The radio automatically keys up

for three seconds, after which you can begin speaking.
