What does "on call" mean?

Jury
Answer: 

You will not be asked to report unless you are needed to participate in a jury selection. Jurors are expected to call the toll-free number listed on the summons after 5:30 p.m. the day before the term of service begins and continue to call each night for two weeks, to determine when you are required to report to the courthouse. The recording on the toll-free number will call jurors in by their participant number which is located on the upper right hand side of the summons. If the recording does not instruct you to report for jury duty, you must continue your normal activities such as work or school. You can also click here to check your reporting status on-line.
