Trunking Operation
Enhanced Private Conversation
(Digital Modes Only)
The enhanced Private Conversation feature not only allows you to
carry on a conversation that is heard only by the two parties involved,
but also enables you to determine whether the unit you are calling is
in service.
The O5 Control Head is capable of responding to a Private
Conversation call initiated by another radio. It features a unique list of
preprogrammed ID numbers. A name may be assigned to each ID in
the list for your convenience.
Answering an Enhanced Private Conversation Call
When a Private Conversation Call is received, two high-pitched
tones sound and the display alternates betwee CALL RECEIVED
and the home display.
1 Press the CALL softkey 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 the CALL softkey, you will
not respond privately to the call just received. Instead, when
you press the CALL softkey, you enter the Private Conversation
Call state, as described in
“Initiating an Enhanced Private
Conversation Call” on page 63.
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 the CALL softkey before pressing the
PTT button, your conversation will be heard by all members
of the talk group.
