Note: On a MOTOTRBO™ radio system the radio user must PTT and wait for the Transmit Interrupt Clear-
to-Talk tone ("Biddle-up") before they can speak into the mic and be heard by the other party.
Automatic Diversion to a Telephone:
If mobiles do not have DTMF dialing capability, it is possible for TACT to automatically dial a pre-
programmed telephone number when a Call Alert is received from the radio. The mobile user Call Alerts the
base radio ( via a Private Call )and receives ring tone while TACT dials the pre-programmed phone number.
To Program Automatic Dialing of a Telephone Number from the Keypad of TACT:
1. Press * 85 ttt…#, where ttt… is the phone number to be dialed automatically on receipt of a radio call.
2. Press * 85 0 # to turn this option off.

On an incoming telephone call your radio will ring with the base radio’s ID.

3.2.1 PTT to Answer or DTMF * to Answer an incoming Telephone Call
When diverting incoming telephone calls to a Group (see next page), you can set TurboTACT so that a PTT
will answer a telephone call or a DTMF * will answer a telephone call. The DTMF * method is used to
prevent a radio from accidentally answering a telephone call by pressing PTT during a group conversation.
