911 Dispatcher Practice Test

To signal that transmission should pause, which code is used?

1. 10-3

2. 10-4

3. 10-8

4. 10-7

The correct answer is: 10-3

The correct choice for signaling that transmission should pause is 10-3. This code is specifically designed for situations where dispatchers or responders need to indicate that there should be a pause in communication to avoid overlapping transmissions or to allow for important communications to be conveyed without interference. In contrast, the other codes have different meanings: 10-4 typically signifies acknowledgment or that a message has been received and understood, 10-8 indicates that a unit is in service or available for calls, and 10-7 signifies that a unit is out of service. Knowing the correct codes and their meanings helps ensure clear and effective communication in emergency situations.
