Call Originate

A short mid-pitched alert tone sounds after keying the

radio (Push-To-Talk button is pressed). This indicates the

radio has been assigned a working channel or that the

radio is transmitting on a conventional channel and voice

communication may begin immediately.

A high-pitched tone after pressing the PTT button

indicates the system has placed the call request in the

queue. The receiving unit(s) also hear the tones, indicat-

ing they will receive a call shortly. If the the PTT button

is released, the radio will autokey whenever a channel

becomes available (see Autokey).

After being placed in queue (see called queued), the

site calls the radio when a channel becomes available.

At this point, the radio automatically keys the transmitter

(autokey) for a short period to hold the channel. The radio

sounds a mid-pitched tone when it is clear to talk; imme-

diately press the PTT button to keep the assigned chan-

nel.

Three low-pitched beeps will be heard if: 1) the radio

is keyed when the system is busy, 2) if no channels are

available for sending the message, 3) if the call queue is

full, 4) or if an individual call is being attempted to a radio
