Selective Call is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function is similar to
Code Squelch {page 14}. The differences from Code Squelch are:
You can send or receive message codes containing a maximum of 5 digits.
Selective Call turns the squelch OFF only when the transceiver receives a predetermined
DTMF code in the correct sequence:
1) A 3-digit ID code
2) A 1-digit Intermediate code
3) A message code (up to 5 digits)
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful
when you want to pass information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your
dealer for details.
Note: Selective Call cannot be used on channels programmed with Code Squelch or 2-Tone Signalling.
RECEIVING
When you receive the correct ID and Intermediate codes, squelch turns OFF and
you will hear the call. If a message code is also received, the message appears
on the display
“CALL” appears on the display and the LED indicator flashes orange.
When you receive a call with your ID code, “C” appears on the display (i.e.- C 12345).
When you receive a call with your Group code, “A” appears on the display (i.e.- A 12345).
When no message is received, “NO DATA” appears on the display.
You can clear a message by pressing any key other than the IO switch.
To mute the speaker after squelch turns OFF, press the key programmed as Monitor.
Your dealer can program squelch to automatically turn back ON after a specific time period
elapses.
If Transpond for Selective Call is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to
the calling station. Transpond does not function when you are called with a Group code.
Transpond for Selective Call can send an alert tone, a transceiver ID code, or a code
stored in memory location 1.
If Call Alert for Selective Call is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct
code is received.
