Landside-Originate Calls
Calls can be placed from a landside telephone to your transceiver if
the radio system and transceiver have that capability. With most systems,
a mobile can be called directly (each has a unique telephone number).
With others, a mobile may be called as follows:
1. Dial the number of the radio system in which the mobile is operating.
2. When the system answers, a short tone sounds to indicate that the
number of the mobile should be dialed. This is a 4-8 digit number that
is supplied by your system operator, and it must be dialed using a tone-
type telephone. If too much time elapses before dialing is started or
between dialed digits, the call is terminated.
3. If it is a telephone call, ringing is heard by the landside caller while the
mobile is being rung. With other calls, a second tone sounds instead of
the ringing tone and the landside caller should then begin talking.
GENERAL FEATURES
Bank Select
A bank is a collection of selectable systems that have been set up for
a specific application. For example, one bank could be programmed for
operation in Minneapolis and another for operation in Milwaukee. Each
bank is identified by a unique alpha tag, and up to sixteen banks can be
programmed.
Banks are selected by the BANK SEL menu parameter (see
page 33). Rotate the Select switch to display “BANK SEL” on the top
line and the current bank is then displayed on the bottom line. Press the
Select switch to change the bank. If this menu parameter is not available,
banks are not selectable.
