Call procedure, Receiving and transmitting

3 CONVENTIONAL OPERATION

■Call procedure

When your system employs tone signalling (excluding CTCSS and DTCS), the call procedure may be necessary prior to voice trans- mission. The tone signalling employed may be a selective calling system which allows you to call speciﬁc station(s) only and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.

qSelect the desired TX code channel or 2/5-tone code according to your System Operator’s instructions.

•This may not be necessary depending on programming.

•Refer to pgs. 15, 16 for selection.

wPush the call switch (assigned to one of the dealer programma- ble switches: [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], [Red], [] and []).

eAfter transmitting a 2/5-tone code, the remainder of your com- munication can be carried out in the normal fashion.
