Setting up selective call
There are several features that need to be set up before selective
call is used:
• the preamble time period
• the called address
• the self-identification address
• the 99 beacon.
You may cancel the procedure at any time by turning the
transceiver off. Turning the transceiver off stores any changes
you made to the features.
Once you have commenced this procedure, if no action is
required you can skip through all the features by repeatedly
pressing the Call button.
Notes: A long preamble is required when scanning selective
calls.
The reason for a long preamble is that during
scanning, the preamble has to be present throughout
the time it takes to scan all eight selective call
channels.
Do not use identification addresses ending in ‘00’ and
‘99’ as they are used for the group call and beacon
facilities.
You must always enter information within 60 seconds
of pressing the Enter button, otherwise the transceiver
reverts to the normal mode.
