5-Tone Signaling 19
Receiving a
5-Tone Group
Call
If you receive a 5-tone group call, your radio only
sounds a single sequence of the ringing tone (burr
burr). The caller then broadcasts a message to all
members of your group. There is usually no need to
respond to 5-tone group calls.
Making a
5-Tone Call
There are two ways to make 5-tone calls on your
T2020:
■ preset 5-tone calls, and
■ dialed 5-tone calls.
Preset 5-Tone Calls
There are two different types of preset 5-tone calls
that may be programmed for your radio.
■ A one touch 5-tone call may be assigned to the
auxiliary key ( ). To make the call, press the
auxiliary key.
■ A 5-tone call may be associated with each chan-
nel that has 5-tone programmed. To make one
of these calls, change to the desired channel, and
press and hold the call key (
)
for longer than
one second.
The transmit indicator ( ) appears briefly and the
radio may give a short beep, as the call is transmit-
ted. When the called party responds, proceed with
your conversation.
Dialing 5-Tone Calls
If you are unsure what numbers you can dial, con-
sult your system manager or the person who pro-
grammed your radio.
1. Switch to a channel that has 5-tone programmed
and press the call key (
)
to enter 5-tone
dialing mode. The last number dialed may appear.
