Sending A Manually Entered Interconnect Call
1.Press the SPC key to put the radio into Special Call mode. The SYStem field will display "SP" and the GRP (Group) field will display the last accessed call number from the preprogrammed Special Call selection. The "S" "PC" icons will also be illuminated while in the Special Call Mode.
2.Enter the telephone number to be called. The first digit entered will cause the System field and the 10’s digit in the Group field to blank. The last digit entered will always be displayed in the 1’s digit of the Group field. Any previously entered digits will scroll left. Only four characters will be visible at a time with the leading character scrolling off the display upon each new key entry.
NOTE
To recall the last interconnect number entered manually from the key pad, press and hold the SHFT/CLR button and then press the RCL key.
3.Complete the telephone entry by pressing the* key. The * key indicates the digits are for an interconnect call. This will not be displayed but a tone will sound.
4.Press and release the PTT bar to initiate the call. The radio performs the necessary signalling required to obtain a working channel. When the signalling is successfully completed the "BSY" flag lights and the proper DTMF tones will be sent and heard at the speaker.
If the interconnect signalling is unsuccessful, the radio will remain in the the Special Call Mode and sound the appropriate alert tone(s).
5.When someone answers, press the PTT bar and speak directly into the microphone. Release the PTT bar as soon as you stop talking. Messages cannot be received when the PTT bar is pressed.
