Making a Call
There are four different ways of making a call using your T2040II:
1
Enter the full number of the required party using the alphanumeric keypad and then
press either the Hash key (
) or PTT key to send the call.
2
Enter short dial preset numbers using the alphanumeric keypad and then press the
Hash key (
) or PTT key to send the call.
3
Use the Despatcher key (
) or Function key (
). These keys can be assigned
preprogrammed numbers and used for one touch calling. The Despatcher key (
)
is usually programmed to be your base despatcher.
4
Press the Alphanumeric key (
) to enter alphanumeric mode. Use the Up and
Down keys (
/
) to scroll through a list of labels, until the label of the required
party is shown in the display. Press the Hash key (
) or PTT key to send the call.
(See
“Advanced User Operations”, on page 14
for more information on alphanumeric
dialling.)
Note:
The
TX
indicator illuminates each time you operate the PTT key.
Call Setup and Transmission
You may hear call set-up tones,
pip.. pip.. pip
.., and the
WAIT
indicator illuminates. When the
called unit rings, the tone changes to
buzz, buzz... buzz, buzz
.... If the network accepts your
call but cannot connect it immediately, you hear a similar tone to the call setup tone, but lower-
pitched,
pip.. pip.. pip.. pip
, and the
WAIT
indicator flashes.
When the called party answers, the
WAIT
indicator turns off, the tones stop and the
GO
indicator
illuminates. Proceed with the call as follows:
1
Lift the microphone off its hook and hold it about 5 cm from your mouth.
2
Squeeze the PTT key and speak clearly into the microphone. Release the PTT key
when you have finished talking.
3
End the call by placing your microphone back onto its hook or by pressing the Clear key
(
).
The network may also end the call if neither you nor the other party transmits for a pre-
determined time.
Transmit Timer
Your T2040II is fitted with a preprogrammed timer to limit the maximum length of transmis-
sions. Your radio sounds five tones, beginning eight seconds before the call is automatically
‘cleared down’. You must release the PTT key before proceeding.
