12.7 INDIVIDUAL CALLS
12.7.1 Receiving and Responding to an Individual Call
When the radio receives an individual call (a call directed only to the user's radio), it unmutes on
the assigned working channel and turns on the BSY indicator. Line 1 shows “ID” followed by the
logical ID number of the radio sending the message, or the associated name if the ID number is
found in the individual call list. The individual call indicator will display *INDV* on line 2. The
radio can be programmed to ring when an individual call is received. If enabled, the ring begins
five seconds after the caller unkeys and will continue until the PTT button, the c button, or
i is pressed.
Hookswitch functions the same as c key in I-CALL, phone call, and menu
modes.
If a response is made to the call prior to the programmed call-back time-out, the call will
automatically be directed to the originating unit. If a response is not made before the call-back
time-out, the radio will return to normal receive mode, but * WHC * will be displayed. If the
caller's ID is not received, UNKNOWN will display for the duration of the call and there will be
no call-back hangtime.
To respond after the call-back time-out, press the i key. The radio's display will show the
callers ID on the first line and WHCI=1 on the second line. Pressing the PTT button at this point
will initiate an individual call back to the original caller. (If the last call was a group call, the
display will show WHCG=1. Pressing the PTT button will place the call as an individual call.)
The radio stores the IDs of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls
are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list
(1-10). The most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position
2, etc.
To access the list, press the i key twice. Use the , or . keys to scroll through the list.
Pressing the m key will display the time elapsed since the call was received.
