Receiving A Call; Table 30: Call Types And Alert Tones - Codan 2110 series Reference Manual

Receiving a call

There are two ways you can receive a call. You can listen to a channel and respond when
you hear a voice, or you can wait until an alert tone notifies you of a call addressed to
your station. This section covers receiving calls addressed to your station.
When you receive a call addressed to your station, the transceiver sounds an audible alert
tone, displays an incoming call screen, if permitted, and creates an entry in the Calls In
Log.
NOTE
The call alert
The call alert varies according to the type of call received. For Message, Phone, Selective
and Send Position calls it continues for about 10 seconds, then changes to a series of pips
until you press a key. For Emergency calls it continues for 5 minutes then changes to a
series of pips.
