Call procedure

transmission. The tone signaling employed may be a selective
calling system which allows you to call specific station(s) only
and prevent unwanted stations from contacting you.
q Select the desired TX code channel or 2-tone code ac-
cording to your System Operator's instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to page 13 for selection.

mable keys: [Emer], [Side1], [Side2], [Side3], [P0], [P1],
[P2] and [P3]) or [PTT].

After transmitting a 2-tone code, the remainder of your
communication can be carried out in the normal fashion.
