Making Telephony (Voice) Calls
To initiate a radio telephone (telephony) call:
1. Ensure the radio is in standby mode and
select a channel
(channel 16

or another suitable channel).
2. Select transmit power:
1W for short range, or 25W.
3. Pick-up the fist-microphone or handset and
press and hold the PTT

key.
4. Say:
‘<CALLING STATION NAME>’ (3 times)
‘This is <YOUR STATION NAME>’ (3 times).
‘Over’.
5. Release the PTT key and listen.
6. When the call is answered, the called
party may suggest a working channel.
If in agreement, switch to the channel
(example channel 68), using numeric keys or
scroll keys.
It is necessary to say ‘Over’ when you stop
talking, and say ‘Out’ when the entire
communication is terminated.
Do not say ‘Over and Out’, as this is
incorrect.

(example: menu mode) and set channel 16.

a warning beep is heard, and the ‘TX’ indicator is no longer lit. To transmit again simply release PTT, then press PTT again for
the duration of your transmission.
