DTMF Paghg Operation
Receiving DTMF Paging Calls PAGE
The only difference between receiving private and
group paging calls is how the transceiver responds
when the call is decoded. To set up to receive DTMF
paging calls, you must first turn on this feature:
m Press ~I-->‘~~ so that PAGE appears. If the ringer
is enabled (see note below), l V also appears.
m Next, press ?5-+*?? and turn the knob to select
the code memory holding the paging code you
want to monitor. To receive private calls, this must
be code memory P , for group calls, select I - 6.
fl Press the PTT to save and exit.
You are now ready to receive DTMF paging calls. If
a private page call is decoded, the alert ringer
sounds, the squelch opens, and code memory c
appears at the right.
For group calls (code memories I - 6), the ringer
sounds and squelch opens as before, but the group
code appears instead of the calling station’s code.
You can still find out who called your group or friend,
remember that code memory C (read-only) always
holds the ID of the station sending the page call. This
time, you must recall it manually (it only appears
automatically for private calls).
Sending DTMF Paging Calls
To respond to a private page call, pressing the PTI
sends the other station’s ID code, a DTMF “star” (%)
then your private ID code (code memory f’ ) automat-
ically, and resets to receive another call. In this case,
Code memory c is displayed and formatted so you
can respond directly.
For group calls, however, pressing the PTl’ sends a
group call using the group ID of the selected (and
displayed) code memory (i.e., you wouldn’t answer
the calling station, but page the called group). Re-
sponse is designed this way since the original call
was directed to another group, rather than to you.

Note about Ringer Settings
There are two separate ringers that sound in the
FT-SOR; one for the CTCSWDCS bell feature, and
another used for DTMF paging modes.
The CTCSWDCS bell is configured using BEL L -
18 - (covered on page 34), while the DTMF paging
ringer is a function within PRG E -2 7 - (pages 39-40).
Remember that these are configured separately to
eliminate any confusion during feature descriptions.
