Whilst the connection is in place, the DRC-32 operator can hear both sides of the
conversation, but can only speak whilst the [
TRANSMIT

conclusion of the telephone to radio patch, close down the call on the telephone by
pressing the pick- up key to release the line, then press the [

Calling a Mobile from the Keypad.
To call a mobile using the keypad, first select the appropriate radio channel by
pressing the channel button and checking that the channel alpha tag is shown in the
top line of the display, then enter the required number of digits for the mobile
resource identity. Upon entry of the last digit, if an alpha tag has been programmed
for this resource, the tag will appear as a confirmation you have entered the correct
number. Press [
CALL
] and the selective calling code will be transmitted.
Depending upon how your selective calling system has been configured, the display
will either display “calling” followed immediately by “connected” at which point you
should speak to the mobile whilst pressing the [
TRANSMIT
] key, or
The display will show “Ringing” followed by “connected” or “no answer”. Connected
indicates the acknowledge message has been received from the mobile, and speech
communication is possible. Use [
TRANSMIT
] key when speaking, or if “no answer”
is displayed, the mobile has not answered and may be out of range, not on air, etc. The
operator may press [
CALL
] again to retry, or press [
CLEAR
] to close down.
Calling a Mobile from the Memory Stack
The memory stack stores ten received calls. The operator can scroll up and down
through the stored calls by using the [
↓

↑
] keys. Whatever call-sign is presently
displayed, pressing the [
CALL
] key will call that mobile as long as the appropriate
channel is selected upon the DRC-32.
The system will go through the connected or ringing- connected procedure and a
conversation will become possible if the mobile responds. At the end the conversation
press [
CLOSE
] key, at which point the call
will remain in the stack
. To remove the
call from the stack, press [
CLOSE
] once again.
Calling a Mobile from the Keypad When Calls Are Stored In Stack.
Even if the call stack has stored calls awaiting action, using the keypad to enter an
ident ity number will cause the system to switch from looking at the call stack, to
using the data entered at the keypad to make the call. The procedure is then identical
to that described above {Using Keypad}
