Paging Procedures; Sending A Page - Motorola MTS 2000 Operation Manual

Paging Procedures

The Page feature allows a radio to transmit a call alert with your radio ID to a
selected radio. An acknowledgment display will show if the selected radio receives
your alert. The radio can receive and respond to Pages from other radios [not
telephones], and send Pages to them.
The Page feature operates across Talkgroups. The radio ID Number of the
person paging you can be displayed by depressing your Page button. To respond
to a page when the paging radio is in a different Talkgroup, select the caller's
Talkgroup. Follow normal transmission procedures as previously described.
(Note: return to home Talkgroup when finished.)
