If you have set up your radio to respond to incoming DSC calls automatically (see Reference Section 2 - Select your response to individual calls) the following happens when the radio picks up an incoming call:

1.The radio beeps to alert you to the incoming call. Press any key except >ENT or <ESC to stop the beeps now.

At the same time, the LCD screen displays the TELEPHONE symbol, the type of incoming call, and the MMSID of the caller.

If the radio recognises the MMSID as one of your buddies, it displays the buddy name in place of the MMSID.

The radio also changes to CH70 automatically and displays the TX symbol.

If you press <ESC to ignore the call, or do not respond within three minutes, the radio returns to its previous status.

The details of the incoming call are stored in the call log. If the call log is full, the oldest entry is automatically deleted.

You can also store the MMSID of any entry into your buddy list, if you want. The radio will automatically copy the MMSID but you must enter a name manually.
