Tyco Electronics M/A-COM, M7300 Series 9.11 INDIVIDUAL CALLS

9.11 INDIVIDUAL CALLS

When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it unmutes on the

assigned working channel and turns on the BSY indicator. Line 1 shows “ID” followed by the logical ID

number of the radio sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is found in the

individual call list. The individual call indicator will display *INDV* on line 2. The radio can be

programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins five seconds after the

caller unkeys and will continue until the PTT button, the CLR button, or IND is pressed.

Hookswitch functions the same as CLR key in I-CALL, phone call, and menu modes.

If a response is made to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call will automatically be

directed to the originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back time-out, the radio will

return to normal receive mode, but * WHC * will be displayed. If the caller's ID is not received,

UNKNOWN will display for the duration of the call and there will be no call-back hang time.

To respond after the call-back time-out, press the IND key. The radio's display will show the callers ID on

the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point will initiate an

individual call back to the original caller. (If the last call was a group call, the display will show

WHCG=1. Pressing the PTT button will place the call as an individual call.)

The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls are

stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The

most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

To access the list, press the IND key twice. Use to scroll through the list. Press the MENU key to

display the time elapsed since the call was received.

There are two lists available for call storage in the radio, the calls received list (1-10) and the personality

list (1-99 as defined by the user). When the individual call mode is entered by pressing IND, the calls

received list is available. The user can toggle to the personality list by selecting any key other than DIS or
