In this case, you can choose a Tx code channel to be transmitted when using the call function (p. 7). · For a group call, you hear a short ring followed by two short beeps. You do not have to answer a group call to hear it over the air. D Receiving a landline-to-subscriber call *1 When you hear ringing, push [M] to answer. · For a group call, you hear a short ring followed by two short beeps. You do not have to answer a group call to hear it over the air. D Terminating a call *1 After completing a call, push [#] to disconnect (hang up). IMPORTANT: If one person in the conversation terminates a call, all participants will be cut off. D Last number redial *1 Push [M], [M] to automatically redial the last number called. · A high-pitched beep indicates that the number is accepted. *1: This function is available to for the IC-F3S/IC-F4S when the YZ [Y]/[Z] keys are assigned the [ M]/[#] key functions. 9 5 SmarTrunk IITM OPERATION D Memory speed-dialing *2 To automatically dial a commonly used number from memory: · Push [M] followed by the memory location (0­9). D Placing a telephone call *2 Enter the phone number followed by [1], [M]. · A high-pitched beep indicates that the number is accepted. · When the called party answers, push the [PTT] switch to talk, and release it to listen. D Calling another local system subscriber *2 Enter the subscriber number followed by [3], [M]. · A high-pitched beep indicates that the number is accepted. · You hear ringing, then two short beeps when the subscriber answers. · If the other subscriber is on another call or out of range, you hear a fast busy signal and the call terminates automatically. D Clear channel alerting *1 If all channels are busy, the transceiver automatically begins searching for an open channel and beeps every ten seconds. When two short beeps (low-pitched, then high-pitched) are heard, a channel is available. Push [M], [M] immediately to redial the last number. D Turbo SpeeDial To automatically dial a commonly used number with one push: · Push one of the turbo SpeeDials : IC-F3/IC-F4: [A], [B], [C] or [D] IC-F3S/IC-F4S: [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3], or [­] D Programming memory speed dial q Push and hold [M] until you hear a high-pitched beep. w Enter the memory location (0­9, A, B, C, D), the telephone or subscriber number, then [1], [M] (or [3], [M] if for another system subscriber).
