Answering a Selective Call

When a Selective Call is received, two high-pitched tones sound
and the display alternates between CALL RECEIVED and the home
display.
1 Press the CALL softkey within 20 seconds of receiving the call.
(This time is programmable by a qualified radio technician.)
The display shows the ID number of the calling unit.
2 To respond to the call, press the PTT button and talk.
If 20 seconds pass before you press the CALL softkey, you will
not respond privately to the call just received. Instead, when
you press the CALL softkey, you enter the Selective Call state,
as described in "Selective Calls (Digital Modes Only)" on
page 65.
If the system is busy when you attempt to answer the call, a
telephone-type busy tone sounds and your radio's BUSY
indicator lights. When a channel becomes available, you
receive a call back, and your radio automatically keys up for
three seconds so that you can begin talking.
Note: If you do not press the CALL softkey before pressing the
PTT button, your conversation will be heard by all members
of the talk group.
