If you have set up your radio to respond to
incoming DSC calls manually (see Reference
Section 2 - Select your response to individual
calls) the following happens when the radio
picks up an incoming individual call:
1. The radio beeps to alert you to the incoming
call. Press any key except >ENT or <ESC to
stop the beeps.
At the same time, the LCD screen displays
the BUSY symbol, the type of incoming
call and the MMSID of the caller. After one
second this LCD screen changes and invites
you to press >ENT to acknowledge the call
OR press <ESC to ignore it. These two
screens alternate once every second for a
maximum of three minutes.
If you press <ESC to ignore the call or do
not respond within three minutes, the radio
returns to its previous status.
If the radio recognises the MMSID as one of
your buddies, it displays the buddy name in
place of the MMSID.
2. Press >ENT if you want to acknowledge the
call. The LCD screen displays the TX symbol
and changes to CH70.
3. Press >ENT again to send an
acknowledgement and automatically move to

a working channel.
The caller should now respond to your
acknowledgement by making voice contact on
the designated working channel. If not, you
can use PTT to make voice contact yourself.
The details of the incoming call are stored in the
call log. If the call log is full, the oldest entry is
automatically deleted.
You can also store the MMSID of any call log
entry in your buddy list, if you want. The radio
will automatically copy the MMSID but you must
enter the buddy name manually.
