Receiving calls

When a call is received with valid signaling, the radio

unmutes and you can hear the call.

Identifying the talking party or caller

Your radio may be programmed to display the name

or radio ID of the talking party or caller.

For digital calls, if the name of

the talking party is in the call

list, the radio will display the

name of the talking party.

If this name is not in the call

list, only the radio ID is shown.

Digital talkgroup calls will first

display the name of the

talkgroup. While a party is

talking, the radio will also

display the name or radio ID

of the talking party.

Analog calls may be

programmed to broadcast

the caller’s radio ID with the

call.

Turning digital caller ID on and off

Your radio may be programmed to allow you to turn

the talking party ID for digital calls on and off.

1 Press Menu and select Radio settings > Display

settings > Talk party ID.

2 Scroll to either On (or Off) and press Select.

(The current setting is highlighted.)

The message Talking party ID activated

(or deactivated) appears in the display.
