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.
