Stat-Alert—PTT-ID
Stat-Alert PTT-ID is a per-mode feature describing an identification code
transmission that is tied to the PTT switch. The ID code is automatically sent
every time a voice transmission occurs (that is, the PTT switch is pressed). When
PTT-ID comes before the voice transmission, you will hear a tone until the ID
transmission is completed; this helps you avoid talking while the ID code is being
transmitted. This tone can be disabled on a per-radio basis. Also, the ID code
transmission can be programmed to follow the voice transmission.
Stat-Alert—Call Alert™ (Page) (Decode)
Stat-Alert Call Alert is a per-radio feature that provides a convenient way for
the dispatcher to page you through your radio. This is especially useful in noisy
environments, or when you may need to be away from your radio equipment.
When a Call Alert (page) is received, the radio emits a continuous series of four
beeps and the LED flashes green. On the display, the call-received status
annunciator ( ) flashes. The green flashing LED, alert tone, and flashing
annunciator will continue until the Call Alert is acknowledged (you press the PTT,
or press and release the monitor button).
Stat-Alert Call Alert (Page) (Encode)
This feature allows a radio to page another radio or group of radios with
its ID.
Sending the Call Alert
To make a Call Alert, either press the “page” button or select PAGE from the
menu. The last transmitted or received ID is displayed. You can select the ID
you wish to page by scrolling forward with the mode selector to select an ID
from the page list. You may also scroll backward with the arrow keys to show
the last group ID paged, your own radio ID and your own radio group ID. If
unlimited page is allowed, you may enter an ID from the keypad.
Note: Keypad entry only applies to Model III.
To transmit a page to the selected ID, either press the PTT or the select
b u t t o n . T h e r a d i o w i l l d i s p l a y “A C K N O W L E D G E ” i f r e c e i v e d o r
“NO ACKNOWLEDGE” if the paged radio is not reached.
Receiving a Call Alert
The radio receiving the page will display “PAGE RECEIVED” and generate
page received alert tones until the page is cancelled by any button press
other than DIM. The ID of the paging radio may be viewed by entering PAGE
via button or menu (Model II only).
Wildcard ID Entry
In both Selective Call and Call Alert, a * will match any number in the ID
position. For example, paging ID 000* will page all IDs from 0000-0009.
Paging **** will page all radios on the system.
