When the radio picks up an incoming all ships 
call:
1.  The radio beeps to alert you to the incoming 
call. The type of beep depends upon the type 
of call. Press any key except PTT or <ESC to 
stop the beeps now.  The radio automatically 
selects CH16.
  At the same time, the LCD screen displays the 
TELEPHONE symbol, the type and priority of 
the incoming call, the MMSID of the caller, 
and invites you to press <ESC to exit. 
 
If you press <ESC or do not respond within 
three minutes, the radio returns to CH16 to 
receive voice communication.
 
The radio automatically selects the working 
channel designated in the incoming call.
  At the same time, the LCD screen displays 
the BUSY TELEPHONE symbol, the type 
of incoming call, the group name and the 
designated channel. After one second this 
LCD screen changes and displays the group 
MMSID and invites you to press <ESC to 
exit. These two screens alternate once every 
second, for a maximum of three minutes.
  If you press <ESC or do not respond within 
three minutes, the radio returns to its 
previous status.
2.  No acknowledgement is required. Just press 
PTT to communicate on the designated 
working channel. 
  The details of the incoming call are stored 
in the call log. If the call log is full, the oldest 
entry is automatically deleted. 
  If the radio recognises the MMSID as one of 
your buddies, it displays the buddy name in 
place of the MMSID.
