dialling may be used.This allows quick access to up
to 40 preprogrammed numbers of up to 20 digits
using the Up/Down Scroll buttons (8).
Depending on the way your radio is programmed,
the radio will display the alphanumeric alias, the
number to be dialled or the position in the list.
One of four tones may be associated with
preprogrammed numbers, which will sound when
the radio receives a call.

radio by your dealer.
A dynamic group is a group of users, the address
(number) of which is sent to your radio ‘over air’at
any time via the system controller.Therefore at any
time you may become a member of a dynamic
group, able to receive calls and (depending on how
your radio is programmed) send calls to that group.
Incoming calls to fixed and dynamic group numbers
are detailed in Receiving a Call and displayed
under Call Progress - Receiving .
To make an outgoing call to a fixed or dynamic
group address, use the Up/Down Scroll buttons (8)
