5.14.1 Making a Selective Call
Use the keypad on the microphone to input digits to place the call. If the radio is not equipped with a
keypad microphone, use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to scroll through the menu until “SpeedDial” appears in the
bottom line of the display.
Speed dial numbers are defined and provisioned by the OpenSky network administrator
and cannot be manually entered into the radio by the user. Contact the administrator if
changes to the speed dial list are required.
1. If using the microphone’s DTMF keypad:
A. Press *8 on the keypad.
B. Enter the number of the radio to be called (e.g., 027-001-0006). Like dialing a telephone number,
ignore/do not enter dashes. If the region number (first 3 digits; 027 in this example) is the same as
this radio’s region number, these digits do not need to be entered. Likewise, if the region and
agency numbers (first 6 digits; 027-001 in this example) are the same as this radio’s numbers,
these digits do not need to be entered. Leading zeros can also be ignored.
C. Press and release the # key.
D. Wait approximately two (2) seconds.
E. Press and release the PTT button to initiate the selective call request. When the called party
accepts the call, press the PTT again and begin speaking.
If using the buttons on the front of the radio:
A. Scroll through the Menu options using the ▲ and ▼ buttons until “SpeedDial” appears in the
bottom line of the display.
B. Using the ◄ and ► buttons, scroll through the pre-programmed speed-dial numbers until the
desired number appears in the display.
2. Continue by pressing the PTT button when speaking (transmitting) to the caller.
3. To end the call, press the Select button. The network limits selective calls to ten (10) minutes
maximum.
5.14.2 Receiving a Selective Call

speaker and/or headset. Press the ► button to answer the call and press the microphone’s PTT button
when speaking (transmitting) to the caller. Press the Select button to end the call.

5.15 SELECTIVE ALERT
Selective alert messaging is an OTP feature allowing one of up to eight (8) pre-programmed text
messages (refer to Section 5.15.3) to be sent from one radio to another. The user specifies a destination
