RADIO CALLS
DTMF
(Keypad Microphone only)
DTMF means Dual Tone Multi Frequency and is used when the radio is required to operate in a radio system with an interface to telephone systems. There are two methods of accessing DTMF Live Dial Mode, either Automatic or Manual:
Automatic method
To do this, your radio must send a telephone interconnect to a station that connects you to a phone line. After you have finished your call, the radio sends a clear down call (if programmed) to shutdown the connection to the phone line.
Sending the Telephone Interconnect Call
Your radio can be programmed to send the interconnect call in one of the following ways:
•automatically - when a call button
(Call 1 - 4 or PTT) has been programmed with the interconnect call, or a contact list entry has been programmed for DTMF access.
•manually - when you dial the code using the keypad microphone.
If in doubt, please contact your dealer or network manager for further information.

parties speak in turn, i.e. press the PTT to talk, release to listen.
