Shown below are example settings. Please refer to the supplied configuration sheets for your modem’s
configuration.
Entering or Modifying Numbers in the Call Book
Entering or modifying call book numbers in the Call Book is a straightforward process. When in the Call
Book menu, select the entry number (0 – 9) you wish to edit. You will be prompted for the new number
(formatting is automatic, you do not need to enter the dash). Once the number is entered (unless it is 000-
0000), you will be asked for the call number of the first Repeater to be used. If no Repeater is to be used,
enter the escape key; your entry will be complete and you will be back in the Call Book menu screen. If you
enter a Repeater number, you will then be prompted for the call number of the second Repeater to use. If a
second Repeater is being used, enter the call number at this time; if not, enter the escape key. Once again, the
radio modem will retain your entries, as shown in the updated Call Book menu screen.
Note: It is important that the Call Book slots (0 – 9) are filled sequentially beginning with 0, the first slot in
the book. Call Book numbers do not need to be entered in numerical order; however, there must not be
any 000-0000 numbers in the middle of the list of good Call Book numbers. The reason for this is that
when a Master is instructed to Call All available Remotes, it will call all Remotes listed until it reaches
the first number of 000-0000. If a valid call book number is entered after the all zero number, it will not
be recognized as a valid number to be called by the Master.
