When in the saved call list, pressing m toggles the time stamp on and
OFF. The time stamp indicates how long ago the call was received. The
display indicates this information as HH:MM:SS where HH = hours, MM =
minutes and SS = seconds.
When in the pre-stored list, pressing m toggles the Logical IDentification
(LID) on and OFF.
Sending An Individual Call
The following procedures describe how to initiate and complete an
individual call.
1. To select a previously stored individual, select the I-Call mode from the
menu or press i followed by the RAMP control , or . to scroll
through the list of stored individuals. The selection mode rules apply.
While in the individual call list, the menu key will toggle the display
between the call name and the unit ID number. If the individual is not
stored in this list but the individual's unit ID is known, it can be entered
directly from the keypad.
2. Press the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signalling to
obtain a communication channel. When the signalling is complete and
the radio is clear to transmit, TX indicator turns ON and the channel
access tone sounds. Line one shows the called individual's name if
found in the list of stored individuals or ID followed by the logical ID
number of the unit being called. The message *INDV* displays on line
two. Proceed with the message.
SCAT OPERATION
A SCAT (Single Channel Autonomous Trunkin g) System operates with
same set of features as a standard EDACS system. The only significant user
change relates to the BSY indicator. Since only one channel, operating as
both control and working channel, exists in a SCAT System, the BSY
indicator will be ON when the SCAT channel is in the working channel
mode. When the transmission on the channel is completed, the indicator
turns OFF and indicates the return of SCAT control channel signalling.
