Making Trunked Telephone Calls - Motorola MTX-800 Classic User Manual

Making Trunked Telephone Calls

Note: In order to make a telephone call
from your radio, it must be authorized to
access the telephone network on the
trunked system selected.
To make a telephone call from a
trunked system, press the telephone
interconnect button; listen for a dial tone.
If a busy tone ("bah-bah-bah") is
heard when the telephone interconnect
button is pressed, all telephone channels
are busy. You are placed in queue for an
available channel. When you hear a dial
tone, proceed normally.
Dial the desired telephone number
using the keypad. When the person you
are calling answers, transmit normally.
Tell the person you're calling that you
are talking from a radio and that they
should wait to hear the "beep" after you
speak before replying. Otherwise, if they
talk while you are transmitting, you won't
be able to hear what they are saying.
When your call is complete, press the
telephone interconnect button again to
hang up.
Note: If an invalid key tone is heard when
the telephone interconnect button is
pressed, the telephone interconnect option
has not been enabled. Telephone calls
cannot be made. If an illegal mode tone is
heard when the telephone interconnect
button is pressed, the radio may be out-
of-range of the system or not authorized
to access telephone interconnect.
Telephone calls cannot be made.
