71 Radio Operation with Features (cont.)

Stat-Alert—Voice Selective-Call (Decode)

This feature provides a convenient way for a dispatcher to voice page an individual or group. Voice selective-call decode also eliminates the need for you to listen to traffic that is of no concern to you. This is a per-radio feature, enabled on a per-mode basis, and available as individual call or group call.

1.When a call is received, the green LED flashes, and a one-time, two-beep alert tone is emitted; on the display, the call-received status annunciator ( ) flashes. A voice message will follow. The green LED will continue to flash for the entire length of the message.

2.Return the radio back to voice selective-call operation by pressing the monitor button or, if so programmed, the radio will automatically reset.

Two automatic-reset features are available for voice selective-call:

•Automatic Reset Without Carrier Override — The automatic-reset timer will start after the voice selective-call code is lost or after the radio is dekeyed (you release the PTT switch).

•Automatic Reset With Carrier Override — When a carrier is detected, the automatic reset timer will stop; when the carrier is lost, the automatic-reset timer will start over.

Note: Voice selective-call automatic reset is cancelled when the monitor button is pressed or when the mode is changed. The automatic-reset timer is started over if it was running when either a voice selective-call was decoded or a successful transmission was initiated.

Stat-Alert—Radio Check

This feature allows the dispatcher to determine if a radio unit is on the air without disturbing the radio operator. This is a useful tool for the radio dispatcher to use for routine maintenance checks, or if there is reason to doubt the availability of a radio unit. When the dispatcher "checks" for the radio, the radio will receive the command and automatically acknowledge it. The transmit (red) LED will light when the radio sends the acknowledgement.
