Receiving and Responding to a Private Call
A Private Call is a call from an individual radio to another
individual radio.
Procedure:
When you receive a private call:
1 The green LED blinks. Your radio unmutes and the incoming
call sounds through the radio's speaker.
2 If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you
hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio
releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for
you to respond.
3 Press the PTT button to respond to the call.
The green LED lights up.
4 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak
clearly into the microphone.
5 Release the PTT button to listen.
6 If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period of
time, the call ends.
See Making a Private Call on page 13 for more details on
making a private call.
Receiving an All Call
An All Call is a call from an individual radio to every radio on the
channel. It is used to make important announcements requiring
the user’s full attention.
Procedure:
When you receive an All Call:
1 A tone sounds and the green LED blinks. Your radio
unmutes and the incoming call sounds through the radio's
speaker.
2 Once the All Call ends, the radio returns to the previous
screen before receiving the call. An All Call does not wait for
a predetermined period of time before ending.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you
hear a short alert tone the moment the transmitting radio
releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is now
available for use.
You cannot respond to an All Call.
NOTE: The radio stops receiving the All Call if you switch to a
different channel while receiving the call.
During an All Call, you are not able to use any
programmed button functions until the call ends.
