Trunking Operation

2 Turn the Mode knob (W4), or

press the Mode rocker

switch (W5, W7, W9) to

locate the number you want

to call.

The display first shows the

name, and then the number.

3 Press the Sel button or the

PTT button.

The displayed number is

automatically dialed.

Note: If the number contains a programmed pause, the dialing

pauses briefly when

P is displayed. After the brief pause, the

rest of the numbers is dialed.

If you are out of range of the trunked system,

NO PHONE is

displayed, 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 (W4, W5, 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.

PHON BSY (W4, W5, W7) or PHONE BUSY (W9) is displayed

with a low-pitched tone rather than a telephone-type busy

tone, the call is not queued. You must hang up and try again.

4 When your party answers,

press the PTT button to talk,

and release it to listen.
