Making a Selective Call
You can make a selective call to a particular 
radio, known as an individual call, or to a selected 
group of radios, known as a group call. 
To make a Selective Call :
1. Press the PTT or Call Button (depending 
on the way your radio has been  pro-
grammed by your dealer), to set up the 
call. 
2. Wait until the conversation has been set 
up, which means you are authorised to 
use the system.
3. Talk with your mouth 2.5 - 5cm from the 
microphone. Release PTT to listen.
4. When transmitting the red indicator will 
light continuously.
Your radio may be configured for ‘Transmit 
Inhibit’ under certain conditions (e.g. when the 
channel is in use by others) in which case, the 
channel busy tone will sound when you press 
the PTT or call button to indicate that 
transmission is inhibited.
When the channel is free, the Channel Free 
beep  will sound, and you can 
make a call.
If your radio is equipped with a transmit time 
out timer (TOT), a warning tone 
will sound a few seconds 
before the transmission is cut off. Your radio 
may be programmed to inhibit retransmission 
within a preset time.
Receiving a Selective Call
When you receive a selective call, you will hear 
either an individual call alert tone 
, or a group call alert tone 
 and the LED Indicator will 
light (yellow). 
To answer the call:
1. Press the PTT button or Call button.
2. The call will terminate automatically when 
the conversation has ended or press the 
Monitor button.
