5-5 Response to individual calls (INDIV REPLY)
You can respond to incoming individual calls with an automatic response or with a manual

An automatic response sends an acknowledgement and then sets the request link channel,
ready for a conversation.
A manual response asks if you want to acknowledge the call, and then asks if you want to
converse with the caller.
1. Select DSC SETUP, then INDIV REPLY.
2. Select AUTO for an automatic response, or MANUAL for a manual response.
3. Press ENT to confirm your choice and return to the menu.
