Receiving a call

When you receive a call, your radio 

displays the caller’s identity and 

responds in one of two ways, depend-

ing on the way it was programmed 

and the way your network operates.

■

On-air call setup: The radio gives a ring and automatically 

accepts the call. The 

 symbol appears in the display.

■

Full off-air call setup (FOACSU): When a call is received, 

the radio rings like a telephone. 

To accept the call, press Answer. The radio gives a beep 

and the 

 symbol appears in the display. You may also 

be able to accept the call if you briefly press the PTT key 

or lift the microphone off the microphone clip.

Once the 

 symbol appears, you can proceed with the call, 

as follows:

1

Hold the microphone about 5cm (2 inches) from 

your mouth.

2

Press and hold the PTT key to transmit.

3

Speak clearly into the microphone and release the PTT 

key when you have finished talking.

While you are transmitting, the 

red LED glows and 

 appears in 

the display.

4

End the call by placing your microphone back onto its hook 

or by pressing Clear. The network may also end the call if 

neither you nor the other party transmits for a predeter-

mined time or if your call time limit is exceeded.
