4.)  Regardless of your active Dwell Display, the

display screen’s Signal Strength Indicator glows
brightly for a strong signal from the incoming
caller, dimly for a weak signal.

The steps for making a voice call are similar to those
for a conventional portable radio.

Ø  How to Make a Voice Call

1.)  First, if you haven’t already, Power Up your radio

by pressing the Power Button/Volume Dial to
Power Up, and Log On with your User ID. (See
How to Turn Your Radio On.)

2.)  Check the Signal Strength indicator light for

clearance. If the light is burning brightly, you are
receiving a call.

3.)  Wait for clearance if necessary. A single End of

Message tone will indicate the end of your
incoming call.

4.)  Depress and hold the Push-to-Talk button on your

remote hand-held microphone and speak normally.
For maximum clarity, hold the transceiver
approximately 1½ inches from your mouth.

5.)  Release the Push-to-Talk button to terminate your

outgoing voice call.

Ø  What the Beeping Means

If the network is clear, you won’t hear anything when
you depress the Push-to-Talk button. Just hold the
button down and talk, then release the button.

1.)  If you hear 3 rapid beeps, the network is too busy

to transmit or even queue your call. You cannot
place a call in this situation. Wait a few seconds
and try your call again.
