Quick Call Ii (Astro P25 Digital Trunking And Conventional); Initiating A Quick Call Ii Transmission; Emergency Operation - Motorola ASTRO APX O5 User Manual

Quick Call II (ASTRO P25 Digital Trunking and
Conventional)
This feature allows the user to broadcast a series of
distinct, recognizable tones before a voice
transmission from the dispatcher or a radio.
The broadcasting dispatcher or radio user can select
this alert tone transmission to be sent to an individual
Talkgroup or over the entire system. Specific tone or
series of tones are pre-programmed into the radios to
allow the dispatcher or supervisor to select a list of
tones to broadcast before they make their voice
transmission. Each tone is distinctive to indicate
different situation or different broadcaster. The
transmitting radio also plays back the tones for the
broadcaster to listen.
Note:
The receiving radios must be configured with
the Quick Call II tone in order for the radio to
sound the selected tone and also to sound a
preconfigured alert tone after the selected
tone has sound.

Initiating a Quick Call II Transmission

The broadcasting or transmitting radio must be pre-
programmed to see the tone in the Quick Call II tone
