BASIC OPERATION

■ Call procedure

When your system employs tone signaling (excluding
CTCSS and DTCS), a call procedure may be necessary
prior to voice transmission. The tone signalling 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 2/5-tone code ac-
cording to your System Operator's instructions.
• This may not be necessary depending on programming.
• Refer to pgs. 10–11 for selection.
w Push [Call] (assigned to one of the dealer programmable
keys).
e After transmitting, the remainder of your communication
can be carried out in the normal fashion.
