Voice Calls

■ Making a Voice Call

1 Select a call address using one of the following

four methods: i)

Select a call address from memory:

your desired call address using the Rotary encoder if a call address has been stored in

the transceiver memory.

ii)

Use a pre-programmed key:

Press key A, B,

C, or D to select a call address if they have

been pre-programmed with Dialing or Redial.

iii)

Select a call address from the stack:

received voice call from the stack as a call address (refer to “Viewing the Stack”, on page 14).

iv)

Enter a call address using the keypad:

your desired call address using the DTMF keypad (keys 0 ~ 9, , and #). Refer to the appendix {page 20} for the available dial strings and control codes.

appears on the main display and “CAL” appears on the 3-digit sub-display.

• If you have the caller’s address set up in your transceiver, the call address is displayed instead of the unit number.

• Group conference calls are represented by “GRP” rather than “CAL”. Group broadcast calls are represented by “BCC”.

• Special calls are denoted as follows:

I-Fleet:
