IMPORTANT!

You must have stored at least one group MMSID into your radio in order to access this function. (See Reference Section 2 - Enter a new group MMSID.)

The radio automatically selects the working channel designated in the incoming call.

At the same time, the LCD screen displays the BUSY TELEPHONE symbol, the type of incoming call, the group name and the designated channel. After one second this LCD screen changes and displays the group MMSID and invites you to press <ESC to exit. These two screens alternate once every second, for a maximum of three minutes.

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

2.No acknowledgement is required. Just press PTT to communicate on the designated working channel.

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

If you press <ESC or do not respond within three minutes, the radio returns to CH16 to receive voice communication.

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

2.No acknowledgement is required. Just press PTT to communicate on the designated working channel.

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