by dialling the national Telstra booking number 0108.
Calls will only be decoded if your Radiophone is switched on and in either the:
• selective call scan mode (refer to section 6, Using selective call in scan mode)
which is recommended when expecting a call
• set on the correct channel for the time of day and the antenna is tuned on the

section 5
• let the Radiophone automatically store the callers self identification

If your Radiophone was unattended at the time the selective call was
received, the callers self identification number is stored in memory for
you to review at a later time. Refer to Reviewing the list of received calls
