Individual Calls (GP380/GM360)

• Press [9]. “Contact list” should be displayed.

• Press [9] to select, the wanted location and agency alias should be

displayed (“IRA, TF THN”). TIP! When a location has been selected, it

will remain current until another is selected. This means you don’t have to

select location each time you make a call.

• If the wanted location is not displayed, use the Up/Down arrows to scroll

through the addresses until the desired entry is displayed.

• The display will show “Selected” for a couple of seconds and then return to

the default menu (Channel).

• Use the keypad to enter the call sign of the recipient. Ex. To call TF 8.2,

chose “IRA, TF THN” from the “Contact list”.

• Press [9] to confirm selection.

• Enter 802 from the keypad. The GP380/GM360 uses 3 digit coding for

callsigns. Therefore the following call sign extensions would be used: 8.2

would be expressed as 802, 8 would be expressed as 800 and VHF base

stations are normally expressed as 001.

• Press [Call] button to send the call.

• If the called radio is within coverage and has the same channel selected, it

will begin to ring and display the calling radios callsign.

• The receiving radio will return a confirmation to the calling radio that it has

received the call.

• If the calling radio received confirmation from the called radio it will beep

to notify the user that the message exchange can start.

• If no confirmation has been received within 5 seconds the calling radio will

emit a low pitched continuous tone to notify the user that the called radio

didn’t answer. There are several possibilities for this.

1. The called radio is switched off.

2. The called radio is not on the same channel (frequency)

3. The called radio is out of range, or

4. The user has made a mistake entering information for the Selcall.

If the first attempt should fail, try again. However continuous calls will unnecessarily

cause interference to the VHF network.
