Making a Selective Call
Just like a Private Call, while you can receive and/or respond to
a Selective Call initiated by an authorized individual radio, your
radio must be programmed for you to initiate a Selective Call.
Procedure:
1 Select the channel with the active subscriber alias or ID.
See Selecting a Channel on page 14.
2 Press the PTT button to make the call. The green LED lights
up. The display shows the Private Call icon and the
subscriber alias.
3 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak
clearly into the microphone.
4 Release the PTT button to listen. When the target radio
responds, the green LED blinks.
5 If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period of
time, the call ends.
6 You hear a short tone. The display shows Call Ended.
Talkaround
You can continue to communicate when your repeater is not
operating, or when your radio is out of the repeater’s range but
within talking range of other radios. This is called “talkaround”.

between talkaround and repeater modes.
