code of the calling stations (such as “ID1234”) will appear in the display. If a private
SELCALL is detected, the VX-1210 send the answer back signal to the calling station
automatically before the alert ringer sounds.
Unless you respond, the alert beeper will be heard every three seconds, and the “
