TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS
SYSTEM MODELS
Telephone interconnect calls can be placed on radio channels equipped with this capability. Each channel programmed into the radio can be pro- grammed for telephone interconnect by enabling it for DTMF dial operation. One (1) of the ten (10) pro- grammed telephone numbers can be selected and automatically dialled.
Communication takes place in a simplex mode. In other words, the PTT BUTTON must be pressed each time you wish to transmit and it must be re- leased to receive.
The keypad on the radio’s front panel allows the operator to make telephone interconnect calls on radio systems equipped with this capability.

Each channel may be pro- grammed for telephone interconnect by enabling it for DTMF dial operation.
Most systems require an "*" to be sent at the beginning of a transmission to get a dial tone. Others require "#". After the dial tone is received, the num- ber is sent.
