TELEPHONE CALLS

quickly select the telephone group in the current system, press the TEL option switch as described on page 41. When a group

programmed for telephone calls is selected, is displayed.

2.To obtain the dial tone, briefly press the PTT switch. If the proceed tone is used (see page 25), press the PTT switch until this tone sounds. If a dial tone is then heard, proceed to step 4. Busy or no access conditions may also be indicated the same as described for standard group calls on page 28.

3.With the dial tone sounding, dial the number using the 0-9 keys on the microphone keypad. If the microphone has a memory, you may also be able to recall the number from memory. The PTT switch does not need to be pressed while dialing if the transmitter auto- matically keys. If too much time elapses between digits, the call is terminated.

4.After the number is dialed, release the PTT switch (if it was pressed). With LTR-Net operation, a short tone then sounds to indicate that the number was accepted by the system. Landside ringing (or a landside busy condition) should then be heard.

5.When the other party answers, press the PTT switch and respond. The PTT switch must be pressed to talk and released to listen the same as with mobile-to-mobile calls.

6.When the call is finished, it should be terminated. This is usually done by transmitting either the # or X # characters, and termina- tion is indicated by three beeps. Terminating the call in this manner prevents extra billing that may occur while the system automatically detects the end of the call.
