STANDARD CALLS

STANDARD CALLS

Introduction

Most calls you make are probably the standard type described in this section. These calls are between you and another mobile or control station. The main difference between these calls and the other type that can be placed (telephone calls) is that no number is dialed using a keypad. The following procedure applies to both LTR and conventional operation.

Placing a Standard Call

1.Turn transceiver power on and set the volume as described starting on page 15. With conventional operation, also set the squelch as described on page 18.

2.Select the system and group of the mobile being called as described in “Selecting the System and Group” on page 17.

3.If a conventional call is being placed, monitor the channel manually or automatically as described on page 39.

4.Press (and hold) the microphone PTT (push-to-talk) switch to talk and release it to listen. Operation with LTR and conventional systems is as follows:

LTR Operation

•If the proceed tone is enabled (see page 28), it sounds shortly after the PTT switch is pressed to indicate that the radio system was successfully accessed. If the proceed tone is not enabled, no tone sounds when the system is successfully accessed. The proceed and other tones can be disabled as described in “Tone Select” on page 30.

•If the radio system is busy, the busy tone sounds (see page 47) and “BUSY” is indicated on the lower line of the display. If you continue pressing the PTT switch, the system is accessed when it becomes available.
