European radio models require

amanual acknowledgement.

If you have set up your radio to respond to incoming DSC calls manually (see Reference Section 2 - Select your response to individual calls) the following happens when the radio picks up an incoming individual call:

1.The radio beeps to alert you to the incoming call. Press any key except >ENT or <ESC to stop the beeps.

At the same time, the LCD screen displays the TELEPHONE symbol, the type of incoming call and the MMSID of the caller. After one second this LCD screen changes and invites you to press >ENT to acknowledge the

call OR press <ESC to ignore it. These two screens alternate once every second for a maximum of three minutes.

If you press <ESC to ignore the call or do not respond within three minutes, the radio returns to its previous status.

If the radio recognises the MMSID as one of your buddies, it displays the buddy name in place of the MMSID.

2.Press >ENT if you want to acknowledge the call. The LCD screen displays the TX symbol and changes to CH70.

3.Press >ENT again to send an acknowledgement and automatically move to a working channel.

The caller should now respond to your acknowledgement by making voice contact on the designated working channel. If not, you can use PTT to make voice contact yourself.

The details of the incoming call are stored in the call log. If the call log is full, the oldest entry is automatically deleted.

You can also store the MMSID of any call log entry in your buddy list, if you want. The radio will automatically copy the MMSID but you must enter the buddy name manually.
