SELECTIVE CALL (TK-760G/ TK-860G only) Selective Call is enabled or disabled by your dealer. This function is similar to Code Squelch {page 14}. The differences from Code Squelch are: • You can send or receive message codes containing a maximum of 5 digits. • Selective Call turns the squelch OFF only when the transceiver receives a predetermined DTMF code in the correct sequence: 1) A 3-digit ID code 2) A 1-digit Intermediate code 3) A message code (up to 5 digits) Your dealer may also activate Group Call for your transceiver. This is useful when you want to pass information to a number of units in a fleet. Ask your dealer for details. Note: Selective Call cannot be used on channels programmed with Code Squelch or 2-Tone Signalling. RECEIVING When you receive the correct ID and Intermediate codes, squelch turns OFF and you will hear the call. If a message code is also received, the message appears on the display • "CALL" appears on the display and the LED indicator flashes orange. • When you receive a call with your ID code, "C" appears on the display (i.e.- C 12345). • When you receive a call with your Group code, "A" appears on the display (i.e.- A 12345). • When no message is received, "NO DATA" appears on the display. • You can clear a message by pressing any key other than the IO switch. • To mute the speaker after squelch turns OFF, press the key programmed as Monitor. • Your dealer can program squelch to automatically turn back ON after a specific time period elapses. • If Transpond for Selective Call is programmed, an acknowledgment signal is returned to the calling station. Transpond does not function when you are called with a Group code. Transpond for Selective Call can send an alert tone, a transceiver ID code, or a code stored in memory location 1. • If Call Alert for Selective Call is programmed, an alert tone will sound when the correct code is received. 15
