Selcall is a PMR signalling option that allows the portable radio to initiate or respond to an

identifying number. Selcall is generally used to allow individual radios (or groups of radios) in

that system to be to be SELectively CALLed.

5.6.1 Receiving a Selcall

A number of different options can be set up by the FPP to sound various alert tones when a

Selcall is received. Consult your dealer for a detailed explanation of your radios configuration.

When a Selcall is received the radio may respond by:

 Showing a flashing or solid

icon to indicate

that the radio has been

Called or is On-call, or

 Sounding an Alert tone, or display the Name of

the caller (if it exists in the receivers

Phonebook), or the numerical identity of the

caller (if unknown) on the display.

Pressing the

OK key may clear the icon (and/or mute the speaker).
