Receiving An Individual Call
When you receive an Individual Call (call directed only to your radio), the
display changes to one of the following displays:
1. "*INDV*"
2. "IDxxxxx", where XXXXX is the numeric ID of the calling radio
3. "ALPHA", where ALPHA is the alpha name of the calling radio
Receiving an Individual Call will also cause the BSY indicator to turn on.
After the transmission, the BSY indicator will go out. The display will continue
to show the above until the predefined time-out for calling back expires. During
this callback period, press the PTT button to return the call. If the call is not
returned before the time has expired, the display will return to the Group
display with a "C*" at the left side or a "*C" at the right side of the display or
P1, P2 indicators flashing. This indicates a call has been received. Pressing
CLR will cause this indicator to go out. The radio will retain the ID in the
Special Call list until the radio is powered off or another call is received.
DIRECT MODE OPERATION
The direct mode provides short range, line of sight communications. In
the direct (or talk-around) mode, the direct mode is not functional in a trunked
system.
1. Select the direct mode system or area using +/- ramp button on the
front of the radio.
2. Determine if the channel is in use before making the call. To monitor
the channel press CLR which momentarily disables the squelch.
Also, removing the MIC from the holder allows monitoring of the
channel without disabling the squelch (Channel Guard and Busy Tone
are disabled). If the channel is in use the BSY indicator will be turned
on.
