SELECTIVE CALL
Selective Call is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function is similar to
Code Squelch {page 17}. The differences from Code Squelch are:
• You can send or receive Status codes containing up to 5 digits.
• Selective Call opens the squelch only when the transceiver receives a predetermined
DTMF code in the correct sequence (3-digit or 4-digit ID code — 1-digit Intermediate
code — Status code of up to 5 digits).
Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful
when you want to send information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your
dealer for details.
Note: Selective Call cannot be used on this transceiver if Code Squelch {page 17} or DTMF Number
Display {page 23} have been programmed.

When you receive the correct ID and Intermediate codes, the squelch opens and
you will hear the call. If a Status code is also received, the code will appear on
the display. For example, if the Status code “12345” was received, “
”
appears on the display. (“ ” appears in place of “ ” for group calls.)
• The icon appears on the display and blinks.
• When no Status code is received “ ” appears on the display.
• You can clear the Status code by pressing any key or returning the microphone to its hook.
• To mute the speaker after squelch opens, press the key programmed as Monitor.
• Your dealer can program the transceiver to mute the speaker after a specified time
period elapses.
• If Transpond is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling
station. Transpond does not function when you are called with a Group code.
Transpond can send an alert tone, a transceiver ID code, or autodial memory location
number 1 (refer to “S
TORING
DTMF N
UMBERS
” on page 14).
• If Call Alert is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct code is received.
