Up to ten calls can be stored. If the same radio calls more than once, the most recent call is stored. When ten calls have been stored, depending on the radio programming, the eleventh call received may

overwrite the first or not be stored by the radio.

When a new call has been stored by the radio, the Missed Call icon F will flash and the display will show the alias (name) or number (address) of the last calling radio e.g.

RADIO CALLS

DTMF (Keypad Microphone only) DTMF means Dual Tone Multi Frequency and is used when the radio is required to operate in a radio system with an interface to telephone systems. There are two methods of accessing DTMF Live Dial Mode, either Automatic or Manual:
Automatic method
To do this, your radio must send a telephone interconnect to a station that connects you to a phone line. After you have finished your call, the radio sends a clear down call (if programmed) to shutdown the connection to the phone line.
Sending the Telephone Interconnect Call
Your radio can be programmed to send the interconnect call in one of the following ways:
· automatically - when a call button (Call 1 - 4 or PTT) has been programmed with the interconnect call, or a contact list entry has been programmed for DTMF access.
· manually - when you dial the code using the keypad microphone.
If in doubt, please contact your dealer or network manager for further information.

To initiate a DTMF call with Automatic Telephone Interconnect Call

1 Press dedicated Call Button (Call 1-4 or PTT), you will hear a tone sequence.

Display icon lit: D

2 Wait for call to be set up when you will hear a dial tone.

Display shows:

ENTER

3 Enter desired phone number on the keypad microphone, taking care not to press the PTT. Note: Each DTMF digit is transmitted instantly.

Display shows entered digits:

8116

4 Once the radio has connected to the called number, you can begin the conversation. Even though this is a phone call, your conversation mimics a radio call, that means that both parties speak in turn, i.e. press the PTT to talk, release to listen.

5 To end the call press the Monitor Button or change channel when the clear down call is sent automatically from your radio to shutdown the phone line.

VOICE OPERATED TRANSMIT (VOX)
When the VOX accessory is connected, your radio may be used with hands-free operation. The VOX feature intelligently senses background noise, so that it adapts automatically to the noise level in the environment in which you are working. To start the VOX feature:
1. Ensure that the VOX accessory is connected to the rear accessory connector of the radio.
2. Switch the radio to a VOX channel. You can disable the VOX feature by pressing the PTT button on the hand held microphone. This allows you to use the hand held microphone as normal. To re-enable the VOX feature:
1. Change channel away from and back to the VOX channel.

STUN/UNSTUN
For added security and to avoid abuse of the radio system in which you operate, a feature known as Stun/Unstun is included in your radio. This feature can only be activated by your system manager or administrator. For example, if your radio is stolen and is being used illegally, your system administrator can send a signal which will stun the radio making it incapable of being used. This feature is also useful if the system is being abused by a user who is not complying with the correct communications protocol. The radio can only be unstunned, i.e. returned to operational use, by an unstun signal sent from the system administrator or returning the radio for reprogramming.
