Landside-Originated Calls
Mobiles can also be called from a landside telephone. If the system
is designed so that mobiles can be called directly, simply dial the tele-
phone number of the mobile being called. If mobiles cannot be called
directly, dial the number of the system. Then when the system answers,
dial the special number which specifies the mobile being called. This
number is supplied by your system operator, and it must be dialed using a
tone-type telephone. Depending on the type of call, a ringing tone then
sounds or a second tone sounds which indicates speaking can begin.
Operation is similar to that described in “Placing a Special Call” on
page 15.

press the PHON key (the SND key cannot be used).
When the phone mode is not selected, the number keys dial a
number only when the push-to-talk switch is pressed. In addition, the
dialed number does not appear in the display, so it cannot be stored or
recalled. When the phone mode is exited, any phone number in the
display is erased and cannot be redisplayed unless it was stored in
memory. The transceiver always goes into the standard mode when
power is turned on.
Entering the phone mode using the PHON or SND key results in
slightly different operation. When the PHON key is used, the displayed
system and group do not change when entering as well as exiting the
phone mode. When the SND key is used, the system and group prepro-
grammed for telephone calls are automatically selected when the phone
