Selective Call; Answering A Selective Call - Motorola PM1500 User Manual

Selective Call

The Selective Call feature not only allows you to carry on a
conversation that is heard only by the two parties involved, but also
enables you to determine whether the unit you are calling is in
service.
The PM1500 Control Head is capable of responding to a Selective
Call initiated by another radio. It features a unique list of
preprogrammed ID numbers. This depends on the signaling type
(MDC, QCII or DTMF) that has been programmed on the channel. A
name may be assigned to each ID in the list for your convenience.

Answering a Selective Call

When a Selective Call is received, two high-pitched tones sound
and the display alternates between CALL RCV 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 Call" on page 33.
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.
