Aurora User’s Manual
When you receive a 2-tone, 5-tone (except
radio check and stun) or DTMF ANI
paging code, you can hear a warbling ring.
This ring sounds the same for 2-tone and
DTMF pages, but the group and all-call
pages each have a different warbling ring.
Your radio will ring for 3 seconds when
you receive a call. (See Receiving a Call,
page 56).
Sending a Call
The Aurora radio can encode the ANI
paging code for the Unit ID of a channel
group. The 5-tone or DTMF code is
assigned to the transmit frequency of a
channel. Your dealer can program your
radio for either leading PTT, trailing PTT,
or both edges of PTT when you transmit a
call. These PTT options are programmed
per channel for an internal time-out cycle.
The ANI is not transmitted during the
time-out period.
You can encode subaudible and audible
selective call signals simultaneously, but
the radio can only decode either subaudible
or audible selective calling signals on the
receive frequency of a channel.
If you are using an advanced Aurora radio,
you can generate call page dialing/ANI
sequences (DTMF or 5 Tone). These
options can be used for selective paging of
other radios. Advanced models can also
access and transmit paging and dialing
number sequences stored in the frequently
called numbers list in your radio.
