5-7 Response type to LL polling calls (LL REPLY)
You can set up the radio to respond to an LL polling request in one of three ways:
• MANUAL reply manually to any incoming LL polling requests from your buddies.
• AUTO automatically replies to any incoming LL polling requests from any of
your buddies.
• OFF ignores all incoming buddy LL polling requests.

5-8 Automatic channel switching (AUTO SWITCH)
When a DSC call is received, it may include a request to change to a specific channel for
subsequent communications. If a channel switch request is included, your options are:
• allow the radio to switch to the requested channel immediately by pressing the ENT
button, or
• do nothing to allow the radio to automatically switch to the requested channel after a
delay of 10 seconds, or
• cancel the automatic switch and remain on the current channel by pressing the EXIT button.
However, automatic switching to a subsequent communications channel on receipt of a DSC
call might in some cases disrupt important ongoing communications if the working channel
changes without the operator knowing.
You can prevent the radio from automatically switching from the current working channel by
setting the AUTO SWITCH feature to OFF.
If the AUTO SWITCH feature is set to OFF, an
X
will be displayed on the LCD to remind you
that this feature is set to off. Additionally, the text “AUTO SW OFF” will be included in an All
Ships or Group call replacing the text “AUTO CHxx”

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.
