Viking™ VP600 Portable Radio Operating Manual

To answer a telephone call:

1 When a telephone call is received, “ringing” similar to a standard telephone is heard. 

What is displayed on an incoming call depends on the protocol you are in and if the 
number came over the air and if phone number aliases are defined in the codeplug.

2 To answer the call, press the Phone option button or select that menu parameter and 

press the PTT switch to talk and release it to listen. Since the radio operates half duplex, 
it is not possible to talk and listen at the same time.

3 When the call is finished, end it by pressing the Phone option button or 

 (Clear) 

button.

The Call Alert™ feature allows pages to be sent and received. With SmartNet/SmartZone 
operation, either the Enhanced or Standard mode may be programmed depending on the 
capabilities of the radio system.

To answer a page:

1 When a page is received, five beeps sound and “Page Receive” is displayed. The ID of 

the radio paging you is stored as the last ID received.

2 To clear or ignore the page, press any option button. If the PTT switch is pressed, a 

group call is placed on the selected channel.

3 To answer the page as an unit call (see Section 6.3), press the Unit Call option button or 

select that menu parameter. If the ID of the radio paging you is in the call list, the 
display will toggle between the Calling ID and the alias. If not, only the Calling ID is 
displayed. Press the PTT switch and respond. One of the conditions that follow may 
also occur:

• If the radio being called is on the air, ringing is heard until the called party answers or 

until the system terminates the call; whichever occurs first.
