Receiving and Responding to a Private Call 
A Private Call is a call from an individual radio to another individual radio.
There are two types of Private Calls. The first type, where a radio presence check is performed prior to setting up the call, while the other sets up the call immediately.
When your radio is checked, the green LED blinks.
Only one of these call types can be programmed to your radio by your dealer.
Procedure:
When you receive a private call:
1The green LED blinks.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond.
2Press the PTT button to respond to the call. The green LED lights up.
3Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak clearly into the microphone.
4Release the PTT button to listen.
5If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period of time, the call ends.
6You hear a short tone.
See Making a Private Call on page 11 for more details on making a private call.
Receiving an All Call
An All Call is a call from an individual radio to every radio on the channel. It is used to make important announcements requiring the user’s full attention.
Procedure:
When you receive an All Call:
1A tone sounds and the green LED blinks.
2If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period of time, the All Call ends.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you will hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is now available for use.
You cannot respond to an All Call.
NOTE: The radio stops receiving the All Call if you switch to a different channel while receiving the call.
During an All Call, you will not be able to use any preprogrammed button functions until the call ends.
