OVERVIEW OF CONTACTS
158 ENVOY™ TRANSCEIVER REFERENCE MANUAL
Overview of contacts
A contact is an operator or organisation who you want to call. You can define a
number of potential calls that you may want to make to this contact, depending on
location and the type of interaction that is required. For example, you may want to call
Bob. During the day, Bob oversees communications at the base station, and he has a
transceiver at his desk. To communicate with him during the day, you could make a
Selective, Message or Send Position call to his transceiver. After hours, Bob is at
home, and no longer has access to his transceiver. To contact him via HF at this time
of the day, you could make a Phone call to his home landline via a telephone station
to which you have access. Alternatively, the contact may be an organisation, and the
calls that you define for it may be to individual people within that organisation.
Contacts has two tabs: Contacts and Emergency Contacts. The Contacts tab
contains information on people or organisations who you call, and the types of calls
that you want to make to them. The number of contacts that you can enter depends on
the transceiver type and the options installed in the transceiver. The Emergency
Contacts tab contains a list of up to 10 contacts who you may want to call in an
emergency. You select the contact who you want to call, then the calls that are
programmed for this contact are made in succession when you hold the key for
2 sec. This type of call is called a chain call.
Figure 44 shows the information that is stored for a contact. Each item is described in
detail in the sections following.
