Signalling Enhancements

Quik-Call II Decoding

Call Alert

Call Alert works similarly to tone-only pagers. When a Call Alert (page) is received, a series of 4 beep decode tones are heard while the LED flashes yellow. The LED continues flashing yellow and alert tone continues until the call alert is acknowledged by the radio. If you transmit by pushing the PTT button or change the rotary channel selector while a Call Alert signal is in progress, the LED stops flashing and the Call Alert tone is disabled.

Voice Selective Call

This feature operates like a standard pager providing a one- time voice message. When a Voice Selective Call is received by the radio, a one-time 2 beep decode tone is heard while the LED flashes yellow. The radio unmutes and the voice message is heard. The LED continues flashing yellow while the voice message is heard. The Voice Selec- tive Call feature does not require any action to acknowledge the message and after the transmission is completed, the radio returns to normal operation.

MDC-1200 Encoding

PTT ID

When on a channel with the PTT ID feature, the radio trans- mits an identification code (unit ID) to the base station, indi- cating which portable is in operation. This code is sent whenever the PTT button is pressed. A sidetone is heard as the ID is being transmitted; when the tone ends, start your voice message in the standard manner. The LED glows red during the time that the ID is sent out.

Signalling and Channel Scan

Signalling and channel scan are compatible in the P110 radio. However, during scan operation, a Voice Selective Call on a particular channel could be missed since the radio may not be checking that channel when the Voice Selective Call is being sent.

It is recommended that priority scan be selected and the sig- nalling channel be designated the priority channel to improve the likelihood that the Voice Selective Call is received.
