11.5.5 Receiving an Individual Call
When receiving an individual call, an acknowledgment must be sent back to the
calling station. The GX3500S default setting is Automatic, but has a selection
that allows you to manually send a reply before the radio will switch to the re-
quested calling channel. This selection is useful if you want to see who is calling
and requesting you to switch to a channel for communications, similar to caller id
on a cellular phone.

The radio automatically switches to the requested
channel.
2. Press any key to stop the alarm.

sel is logged in the CALL WAITING directory for you to review and call back at
a later time.
