Conventional Telephone Operation (cont.)

5a. If your radio has been programmed by the RSS for “live dial,” each digit is sent out as its key is pressed.

or

5b. If your radio has been programmed by the RSS for “buffered dial,” the digits of the number are temporarily stored as you enter them. When you have completely entered the number, press the PTT switch to send out the number. The telephone number will be sent out; you will hear tones as they are being sent.

Note: Once you have started entering numbers, the left arrow key ( ) will function as a backspace key. Pressing this key will erase the last digit entered, and move the cursor to the left. When the last digit on the display has been erased, an additional press of this key will cause the last member of the preprogrammed telephone list to be displayed; pressing the right arrow key will show the first member of the list.

6.If the party you are calling answers, carry on with your conversation in the normal manner. Press the PTT switch to talk; release the PTT to listen.

Notes:

After reaching the number you are calling, you may need to dial an extension number before you can reach your party. If this is the case, enter the extension number from the keypad or (if so programmed) use the arrow keys to find the extension number in the telephone list. If you have live dial, the number will be sent as the keys are pressed. If you have buffered dial, press the PTT switch again to send out the extension number.

Many conventional telephone patches will generate a high-pitched go-ahead tone when the radio’s PTT switch is released. This is heard by the land-line party as an indication to begin talking.

7.When you have finished your conversation, or if the number you are calling is busy or does not answer, press the HOME key or the phone button to send the hang-up code. The radio will return to the home display.
