STANDARD CALLS

Introduction

Most calls that you make to others in your radio system are standard calls. When these calls are placed, all that is required is to select the desired system and group. No number needs to be entered on the tele- phone keypad as with special calls. Calls in the conventional mode are always standard calls.

Placing a Standard Call

1.Turn power on and set the volume as required.

2.Select the desired system and group if applicable.

3.If a conventional system is selected, the channel must be monitored before transmitting. Refer to page 30 for more information.

4.Press the push-to-talk switch on the side of the transceiver and begin talking. If a Multi-Net system is selected, a clear-to-talk tone sounds to indicate when the system has been successfully accessed and speaking can begin. Refer to “Clear-To-Talk Tone” on page 20 for more information.

5.Release the push-to-talk switch as soon as the message is complete and listen for a response. The push-to-talk switch must be pressed to talk and released to listen.
