MAKING INDIVIDUAL CALLS (APCO)
If a key has been programmed with Individual, you can make calls to
specified persons.
1 Press the key programmed as Individual.
2 Press the GRP and keys or rotate the CH control to select a unit ID
from the list that has been pre-entered into your transceiver.
Alternatively, you can directly enter a unit ID by using a DTMF keypad.
The target unit ID/name appears on the display.
3 Press and hold the microphone PTT switch to make the call.
Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal transmission.
RECEIVING
1 Select the desired zone and channel using the GRP and keys and the
CH control.
2 When you hear a caller’s voice, readjust the volume as necessary.
If signaling has been programmed on the selected channel, you will hear a call only
if the signal tone matches the tone set up on your transceiver.
Note: Signaling allows your transceiver to code your calls. This will prevent you from listening to
unwanted calls. It does not make calls private, it only prevents them from being heard by
transceivers set with a different signaling code. Refer to “SIGNALING” on page 25 for details.
RECEIVING GROUP CALLS (APCO)
When you receive a call on your group channel and the received group ID
matches the ID set up on your transceiver, you can hear the caller’s voice.
Readjust the volume as necessary.
RECEIVING INDIVIDUAL CALLS (APCO)
When you receive an individual call, a ringing tone will sound and the display
will show the caller’s ID. To respond to the call, press and hold the
microphone PTT switch and speak into the transceiver as you would during a
normal transmission.
