4.3.2 Public Correspondence call
A Public Correspondence call is a call made from a landbased
telephone which is routed via a coast station. This is only
available in countries operating the necessary network.
NOTE At present, it is not possible to receive incoming calls on the
Public Correspondence network - calls can only be made
from the radio. This section is for reference purposes only.
When a Public Correspondence call is received the radio will
sound an incoming call alarm.
The display will flash between displaying “Tel Call From” and
the caller’s telephone number. If the caller’s number is stored
in the Telephone Number directory (see section 5.3), then the
display will show the name stored instead of the telephone
number (Fig 4.11) -

Press Ok to accept the call or On/C to reject the call - the dis-
play will show “Call In Progress”.
NOTE As the telephone call is transmitted via a VHF channel
specified by the coast station, it will still be necessary to press
the PTT key to talk and release it to listen, as with a normal
VHF call. The coast station will disconnect the call if the PTT
is not pressed for 5 seconds at least every 45 seconds.
To end the call, press the On/C key, or wait until the caller
replaces the receiver (an End Call signal will be sent to the
radio). Replace the handset in the cradle.
