STANDARD CALLS
20
If an out-of-range condition exists, the intercept tone sounds (see
page 47) and “OUT-RNGE” is indicated on the lower line of the
display. No more access attempts are made once this indication
appears. Release the PTT switch and drive closer to the radio system
or away from shielding structures and try again.
Conventional Operation
If the channel is busy and the Transmit Disable On Busy feature is
programmed, “DSBL BSY” is indicated on the lower line of the
display, the busy tone sounds, and the transmitter is disabled (see
page 44).
Otherwise, busy and out-of-range conditions are not indicated and
speaking can begin when the PTT switch is pressed after monitoring
the channel. If the proceed tone is enabled on conventional systems,
it indicates when speaking can begin but does not indicate that the
radio system has been successfully accessed.
5. When the call is complete, place the microphone back on-hook.
Receiving a Standard Call
1. Turn transceiver power on and set the volume as described starting on
page 15. With conventional operation, also set the squelch as described
on page 18.
2. Select or scan the system and group programmed for the call you want
to receive (see page 33 for scan information).
3. When the message is received, the display usually changes to the
system and group of the call. Take the microphone off-hook and press
the PTT switch to talk and release it to listen. If scanning, a response
may not automatically occur on the group of the call (see page 36).
