The Address List
176 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
Making several different types of calls
If you want to make several different types of calls in succession, you must create an
entry in the Address List for each different type of call you want to make, and name the
entries Emergency 1, Emergency 2, Emergency 3 and so on.
When you hold , the transceiver calls the station(s) specified in the Emergency 1 entry,
then pauses for about 10 seconds. It then calls the station(s) in the Emergency 2 entry,
and so on, until it calls the station(s) in the last Emergency entry. Calls made this way are
referred to as chain calls.
When the transceiver pauses between calls it displays the seconds remaining in the pause
at the top of the screen, as shown in Figure 32.

You can terminate a chain call by pressing PTT. If you press PTT during:
• an Emergency or Selective call, you can continue with the current call but the chain
call itself is terminated (that is, the transceiver does not call the next Emergency
entry)
• a call in which data is being sent to another station (for example, a Message call), the
current call and chain call are terminated
You can also terminate a chain call by pressing any key. The exceptions to this are:
• you can press to remove messages on the screen, and press and to adjust
the volume at any time, without terminating the call
• if you are prompted to select and/or enter details about the call (for example, a
channel/mode), you can press any keys required to enter these details without
terminating the call
NOTE
This capability is available for use in Codan Selcall and Open Selcall
networks, enabling you to make different types of calls, or even the same
call type on several channels.
In ALE/CALM networks, the channel selection is typically done
automatically, so it is not necessary to set up the Emergency entries in the
Address List to make chain calls.
NOTE
If you want to make a call that sends data, and a call that enables you to
speak to an operator, set up the Emergency entries to make the data call
first: once you press PTT to speak to an operator, the chain call is
terminated.
