SELECTIVE CALL
Selective Call is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function is similar to
Code Squelch {page 17}. The differences from Code Squelch are:
•You can send or receive Status codes containing up to 5 digits.
• Selective Call opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives a predetermined
DTMF code in the correct sequence (3-digit or 4-digit ID code — 1-digit Intermediate
code — Status code of up to 5 digits).
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful
when you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your
dealer for details.
Note: Selective Call cannot be used on this transceiver if Code Squelch {page 17} or DTMF Number
Display {page 23} have been programmed.
RECEIVING
When you receive the correct ID and Intermediate codes, the squelch opens and
you will hear the call. If a Status code is also received, the code will appear on
the display. For example, if the Status code “12345” was received, “ ”
appears on the display. (“ ” appears in place of “ ” for group calls.)
• The icon appears on the display and blinks.
• When no Status code is received “ ” appears on the display.
•You can clear the Status code by pressing any key or returning the microphone to its hook.
•To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor.
•Your dealer can program the transceiver to mute the speaker after a specified time
period elapses.
• If Transpond is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling
station. Transpond does not function when you are called with a Group code.
Transpond can send an alert tone, a transceiver ID code, or autodial memory location
number 1 (refer to “S
TORING DTMF NUMBERS” on page 14).
• If Call Alert is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct code is received.

3 Use the transceiver the same as in a regular call; press the PTT switch to
transmit and release it to receive.
• The icon appears on the display.
• When you release the PTT switch, the squelch opens. If no signal is received for a
pre-determined time, the speaker will mute.
