When a call on a priority ID is received, the ID codes of the selectable groups are checked to see if any are the
same. If one is the same, the transceiver switches to that group. If none are the same, the group number does not change
and “PRIORITY 1" (or 2) is displayed. When a call on a block ID is received, “BLOCK CALL” is displayed and the
group number does not change.
Transmit Inhibit
The Transmit Inhibit feature can be programmed on Multi-Net and LTR systems by your system operator. This
feature prevents the transmitter from keying if the mobile you are calling is busy with another call. When the transmitter
is disabled by this feature, the intercept tone sounds and “TX INHIB” is displayed. To make another call attempt, the
PTT switch must be released and then pressed again. However, you may want to wait a few seconds because an internal
timer must count down before the attempt will be successful.
One use of this feature is to prevent the accidental interruption of a call in progress. It may also be used to provide
an audible indication that the mobile you are calling is busy. A similar Transmit Disable On Busy feature is available on
conventional systems (see page 16).
Telephone Mode
If the PHONE option key or the TELEPHONE menu parameter is available (see page 18), the Phone Mode can be
selected to make placing telephone calls more convenient. It is also used to select telephone system/groups and dial
preprogrammed telephone numbers. Proceed as follows to use the Phone Mode:
1. Press the PHONE switch or select the TELEPHONE menu parameter. This displays the first telephone system/
group in the current bank. If none are programmed, “NO RIC” is displayed. The status display indicates “PH”
until a system/group is selected.
2. To scroll through the available telephone system/groups, turn the Select switch. Telephone system/groups are
indicated by the handset symbol in the display. When the desired system/ group is displayed, select it by pressing
the Select switch.
3. The alphanumeric display then indicates “SELECT NBR”. If you wish to manually dial the telephone number
using the keypad on the microphone, momentarily press the PTT switch to obtain a dial tone and then dial the
number. Proceed to step g.
4. If you wish to recall a prestored number, rotate the Select switch to scroll through the programmed numbers. The
unique identification programmed for each number is indicated in the alphanumeric display. Therefore, the actual
telephone number being recalled may not be displayed.
5. When the desired number is displayed, select that number by pressing the Select switch.
6. To transmit the displayed number, momentarily press the PTT switch to obtain a dial tone and then momentarily
press the PTT switch again to transmit the number.
7. To terminate the call by sending the # character and exit the Phone Mode, press the PHONE switch or press the
MENU switch if using the Menu Mode. The transceiver then returns to the system/group that was selected before
the Phone Mode was entered.
There is also a timer that is active in the phone mode until the number is transmitted. This timer causes the Phone
Mode to be automatically exited if no activity is detected for 10 seconds.
