■ If the radio called sends back an automatic DSC
response “able to comply,” the individual alarm will
sound. Wait for a voice message from the called
station.

response, the radio waits eight seconds and resends
the message.

received, the radio display asks to resend the message
or exit the menu.
At the Unavailable menu, select SEND or EXIT with the
Enter button.
