Code 65 directs personnel to which action?

• A. Speak to Supervisor
• B. Notify Central
• C. Use Telephone
• D. Send a Fax

Answer: (C)

Code 65 is about the method of communication. It directs you to use the telephone to contact the needed party rather than using the radio. This is handy when you need to convey detailed or sensitive information, when the intended recipient isn’t on your radio channel, or when you want to keep radio traffic clear for urgent dispatch. Using the telephone helps ensure the message gets through without tying up the radio. Other actions would involve different instructions (speaking to a supervisor on the air, notifying central by radio, or sending a fax), which don’t match this code’s directive to switch to a phone call.
