• Calling a New Number
(if enabled through radio service
software)
Enter a new phone number or ID
number using any of the numeric
(0–9) keys; then press the PTT
Switch (see following note).
This action does not “program” a new number in your radio’s memory list;
this is a temporary number only.
The first digit of the new number will be shown, and a blinking cursor,
indicating the position of the next number to be added, is also displayed.
When the maximum number of digits (16 for a telephone number, 6 for a
trunking ID number, and 4 for a conventional MDC ID number) has been
entered, the cursor will disappear. If you try to add any more digits, you
will hear an invalid tone.
Telephone Calls—Your radio may be programmed with either live
dial or buffered dial; consult your service technician to determine
which way your radio was programmed.
• Live Dial:
Live dial will send out each digit as the key is pressed, in a
similar fashion to a regular desktop telephone.
• Buffered Dial:
Buffered dial will require that you enter all digits and then
press the PTT Switch. Pressing followed by will
enter a pause in the number (shown as a “P” on the display).
You may erase incorrectly entered digits by using ,
which acts as a backspace.
