Your MTX•LS radio is equipped with Telephone Interconnect,
which allows you to receive calls from landline telephones
through the trunking system central computer. Calls from the
landline user can be private or can include a whole group.
Keep in mind that a radio operator can either talk or listen at one
time, whereas the landline user has duplex (talk and listen) opera-
tion. This means a radio operator who is speaking will not hear an
interruption from the landline user. Therefore, the landline user
should be warned to listen for a beep (system dependent) before
speaking.
To Receive A Telephone Call
1. To make a call to the radio, the landline party will dial an
interconnect terminal phone number. If the system is busy,
the landline party hears a normal busy signal, and must hang
up and try again. If the phone line is open, the caller will hear
a tone (system dependent). The caller should then enter the
access code assigned to the desired radio unit. Both the
landline and the radio user will hear a ringing tone.
2. To answer, press the PTT and begin talking.
3. Keep these points in mind during your conversation:
◊
The landline user should be informed that you are using a
radio and that replies should be made only after you have
finished transmitting. The landline user will hear a soft
beep (system dependent) after you release the PTT switch.
Explain that only one person can talk at a time.
◊
If the landline user speaks while you are transmitting, you
will not hear them. Proceed with the conversation in a
normal two-way radio manner by pushing the PTT switch
