Making a Selective Call

radio, known as an individual call, or to a
selected group of radios, known as a group call.
To make a Selective Call :

Press the PTT or Call Button (depending
on the way your radio has been
programmed by your dealer), to set up the
call.

Wait until the conversation has been set up,
which means you are authorized to use the
system.

Talk with your mouth 2.5 - 5cm from the
microphone. Release PTT to listen.
4.

continuously.
Your radio may be configured for 'Transmit
Inhibit' under certain conditions (e.g. when the
channel is in use by others) in which case, the
channel busy tone will sound when you press
