Tait TP8135 - Receiving a Call

46
Receiving a call
When you receive a call, the radio displays the caller’s identity (see
"Caller’s identity display" on page 46) and responds in one of two
ways. The way your radio responds depends on the way it is
programmed and the way the network operates.
■ On-air call setup: The radio gives a ring and automatically
accepts the call. The display shows
GO.
Press the PTT key and proceed with the call.
■ Full off-air call setup (FOACSU): The radio rings like a
telephone.
Press the PTT key to accept the call. The display reads
WAIT
until a traffic channel has been allocated, then gives two short
beeps. The LED glows green and the display shows
GO.
Press the PTT key and proceed with the call.
Caller’s identity display
When you receive a call, the caller’s identity is displayed in one of
the following ways:
■ If the caller’s identity is a name such as CAR 2, the caller is one
of your preset call numbers with that name.
■ If the caller’s identity is a number such as 208, the caller is
either one of your preset calls with that name, or is in the same
fleet as your radio but is not programmed as a preset call for
your radio.
■ If the caller’s identity is O FLEET, the caller is not in the same
fleet as your radio and is not programmed as a preset call for
your radio.
■ If the caller’s identity is PHONE, the caller is calling from the
PSTN (public switched telephone network).
■ If the caller’s identity is PABX, the caller is calling from the
PABX (private automatic branch exchange).
