BK Radio
RADIO CHECK
The Aurora radio has a radio check feature
that is active whenever your radio is:
• Programmed for receive-ANI paging
• Tuned to a channel that has receive-
ANI assigned
• Placed in tone mode
When radio check is active, if your radio
receives its radio check paging ANI, then it
transmits with its unit ID paging ANI. If
the transmit channel being transmitted is
programmed for transmit ANI, then the
unit ID goes out as specified by the
transmit ANI protocol (DTMF or 5 Tone).
If the transmit channel is not programmed
for transmit ANI, the unit ID is sent out
using the default paging parameter that
was programmed by your dealer.
DTMF DIALING
Advanced Aurora radios can generate
DTMF dialing sequences. To send DTMF
tones, refer back to DTMF Encoding,
page 36.)
Originating a Call
1. Key in a number (up to 10 digits).
2. If the channel is not busy, press
PTT
to automatically transmit the connect
tone and ANI code of the radio.
