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. In conventional mode, this tone

may be delayed after the PTT button is pressed due to GE-STAR signaling

(if enabled through programming).

After being placed in queue or releasing the PTT button prior to a working

channel assignment, the site calls the radio when a channel becomes avail-

able. 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; immediately press the PTT button to keep the as-

signed channel.

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,

indicating they will receive a call shortly. If the PTT button is released, the

radio will autokey whenever a channel becomes available (see Autokey).

Three low-pitched beeps will be heard if the radio is keyed when the system

is busy, if no channels are available for sending the message, if the call

queue is full, or if an individual call is being attempted to a radio that is

transmitting. Releasing the PTT button and rekeying initiates a new channel

request.

If the radio is keyed and a low pitched tone is heard then the radio is not

authorized on the system that has been selected.
