Page 12

Page 12 Quick Guide

Receiving and Responding to a Private Call

When a private call is received, the

icon appears in the radio’s display. To respond to the call, hold down

the PTT key within the p reset time period, and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

If you do not respond to a received private call, the

missed call icon appears at the top of the display. In

addition, if the radio is programmed with Display Missed Call enabled, the large icon also displays.

GROUP CALLS

A group call is a call initiated by a radio user to a group of radio users.

Transmitting a Group Call

When transmitting a group call, the

icon appears in the display. Basic operating procedures for making group call are similar to those previously described for making private calls. A group call can be transmitted using any of these methods:

• To the Preset Contact

• Via the Contact List

• Using Manual Input with the Radio’s Keypad

NOTE

If the radio is programmed with the Default Numeric Key Selection enabled, you can enter a Group Call number in the home screen using the keypad, and then hold down the PTT key to transmit the Group Call. However, if the DTMF keypad is enabled, the number entered in the home screen is a phone number. You can dial the Group Call number through the Manual Dial menu only.

Receiving and Responding to a Group Call

When a group call is received, the

icon appears in the radio’s display. To respond to the call, hold down

the PTT key within the p reset time period, and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

Page 13

Page 13 Quick Guide

ALL CALLS

An all call is a call initiated by a radio user to all radio users on the channel.

Transmitting an All Call

All calls can be transmitted to the preset contact or to a contact on the Contact list. Methods for transmitting an all call are the same as those described for Transmitting a Group Call on page 12. When transmitting an al l

call, the

icon appears in the display.

NOTE

All calls can only be transmitted if enabled by your dealer via radio pre-programming.

Receiving an All Call

When an all call is received, the icon appears in the display.

NOTE

It is not possible to

respond to an all call.

TALK-AROUND (DIRECT MODE)

The talk-around feature provides direct radio-to-radio communications. With talk-around, a radio repeater system is not required for radio communications. This type of operation is sometimes called “direct mode.” Talk-around is beneficial when, for example, a radio repeater system malfunction has occurred, or when the radio is out-of-range of a radio repeater system, but other radios are nearby that can communicate on the same pre-programmed radio channels.

To toggle radio operation between normal communications mode (repeater mode) and talk-around, simple press the preconfigured Talk-Around shortcut key. When in tal k-around/direct mode, the

DM icon appears near the upper left corner of

the display. When in repeater mode, the

RM icon appears.

CALLS ON ANALOG CHANNELS Transmitting a Call on an Analog Channel

1. If not already, select the desired analog channel.

Page 14

Page 14 Quick Guide

2. Listen for a clear channel. In other words, if another person is using the channel, wait for them to finish

transmitting/speaking. If pre-programmed, a monitor or squelch off shortcut key should be used to verify the channel is clear; see the following sections for additional information on these functions.

3. Hold down the radio’s PTT key and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level.

4. Release the PTT key to stop transmitting, and listen for a reply.

Receiving a Call on an Analog Channel

1. If not already, select the desired analog channel. Do not

press the PTT key.

2. When a n i nc oming call is received on the channel, rotate the On/Off Volume Control knob as necessary to adjust the

volume. If pre-programmed, a monitor or squelch off shortcut key can be used to verify there is no signal on the channel. Also,

the Squelch Off shortcut key can be used in weak signal conditions.

Monitor

Monitor is a function for analog channels that allows any pre-

programmed receiver decoding to be disabled so calls

(or other activity) on the selected channel without the correct code can be monitored.

This does not disable receiver squelch. When the Monitor function is enabled, the

icon appears in the top of the display,

and any calls on the channel will be heard in the radio’s speaker. To enable and disable the Monitor function, press the pre-programmed Monitor shortcut key, or the Monitor Momentary

shortcut key. The Monitor shortcut key provides a toggle on/off type function, whereas the Monitor Momentary shortcut key temporarily enables the function only while the shortcut key is depressed.

Squelch Off

Squelch Off is an analog channel function that, wh

en enabled, keeps the receiver unsquelched (i.e., not muted)

even when there is no signal on the selected channel. When enabled, the

icon appears in the top of the display

and call audio on the channel (or receiver noise) is routed to the radio’s speaker.

To toggle squelch between enabled and disabled, press the pre-configured Squelch Off shortcut key. To momentarily turn squelch off, depress the pre-configured Squelch Off Momentary key. When this key is released,

squelch turns back on.

Page 15 Quick Guide

Telephone Interconnect Calls

If an analog channel’s repeater site equipment is connected to a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) gateway system, the radio can make a phone call through this channel and phone system.

Transmitting a Phone Call

1. Select an analog channel that has a PSTN connection. Consult with your radio dealer as necessary.

2. Ac c e ss the phone system using either a Live Dial method or Buffer Dial method as follows:

• Live Dial

— Hold down the PTT key, enter the access code via the radio’s keypad and release the PTT key. The

radio beeps and displays the dialing information. When the phone system is accessed successfully, the radio automatically goes to the DTMF keypad mode.

• Buffer Dial

— Access the phone system as follows:

A. Enter the DTMF keypad mode using one

of the following methods:

• From the home screen, press the Menu key then select Phone > Manual Dial to enter the DTMF

keypad mode.

• Press the programmed DTMF Keypad shortcut key.

• From the home screen, press the Menu key then select Phone > DTMF Keypad > Enable.

B. Enter the phone system’s access code via the radio’s keypad and then press the PTT key. The radio beeps

and displays the dialing information. When the phone system is accessed successfully, the radio goes to the DTMF keypad mode again.

3. Dial the desired phone number using one of the following methods:

• Live Dial — Hold down the PTT key and enter the phone number via the radio’s keypad. Release the PTT key

after the complete phone number has been entered.

• Buffer Dial

— Enter the phone number via the radio’s keypad and then hold down the PTT key.

• Select the Back and the Menu keys, and then select Phone > Phone List to select a desired contact. Next, press

the PTT key.

4. Afte r the call is established, hold down the PTT key to talk, and release it to listen. To end the call, send the de-access

code to exit the phone system; the input method is the same as that for the access code.

Page 16

Page 16 Quick Guide

If the phone is hung up, the call will end and the phone system will exit.

Receiving a Phone Call

When the radio receives a phone call, the

icon or the

icon displays. To respond to the

call, hold down the microphone’s PTT

key within the preset time period, and speak into the

microphone at a normal voice level.

If you do not respond, the radio will provide appropriate indications. If you do not respond to a received phone call, the missed call icon appears at the top of the display. In addition, if the radio is programmed with Display Missed Call enabled,

the large

icon also displays.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE

If a technical problem arises, first refer to the troubleshooting table in the radio’s Operator’s Manual for a possible solution to the problem. If the problem cannot be resolved using that table, contact your radio equipment dealer for assistance. Also contact your radio equipment dealer for specific information about how the radio is programmed.
