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.
When you receive an All Call, a tone sounds and the
LED blinks green.
Your radio unmutes and the incoming call sounds
through the radio speaker.
An All Call does not wait for a predetermined period
of time before ending.
If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled,
you will 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 will not be able to use any
programmed button functions until the call ends.
Receiving and Responding to a Selective Call
A Selective Call is a call from an individual radio to
another individual radio. It is a Private Call on an
analog system.
When you receive a Selective Call, the LED blinks
green. Your radio unmutes and the incoming call
sounds through the radio's speaker.
1 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
2 Press the PTT button to respond to the call.
The LED lights up solid green.
3 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled),
and speak clearly into the microphone.
4 Release the PTT button to listen.
If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period
of time, the call ends.
