Common Radio Features

• 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 “
PP
PP
” on the display). You 
may erase incorrectly entered digits by using 
<, which acts 
as a backspace.
