Phone

PHONE
You can use your radio to connect to a phone line to make a phone call. You need a radio with a keypad to do this.
To do this, your radio must send an access code to a station that connects it to a phone line. After you have finished your call, the radio has to send a deaccess code to shutdown the connection to the phone line.

MAKING A PHONE CALL

A complete phone session consists of
entering the phone mode
sending the access code
sending the phone number
having the phone conversation
ending the phone call.

Entering the Phone Mode

Before you can make a phone call, you must enter the radio’s phone mode.
1. Press the Phone button.

Sending the Access Code

Your radio can be programmed to send the access code in any of the following three ways:
manual (for radios with keypad only)
automatic delay
automatic immediate.
Check with your dealer for more details.
Method

The Phone Conversation

Once the radio has connected to the intended party, you can begin the conversation. Even though, this is a phone call, your conversation mimics a radio call (i.e. both parties speak in turn).
1. Press and hold the PTT, while talking into the microphone.
2. Release the PTT when you finish what you want to say, and wait for the response.
3. Continue in like manner until the conversation ends.
Note: The radio starts a programma-
ble Time-Out-Timer the moment both parties stop transmitting (talking). If the Time-Out-Timer expires, the radio will end the phone call.

Ending the Phone Call

PHONE
Just as the radio needs to send the access code when starting a phone call, the radio needs to send the deaccess code to end the phone call.
The radio can send the deaccess code in any of the following ways:
manual (for radios with keypad only)
automatic.
Check with your dealer for details.
1. If your radio sends the deaccess code manually, dial the deaccess code from the keypad.
2. Press the Phone button to exit phone mode (radios using the automatic method will send the code automatically).
