good way to call a bear

When using an electronic call do you let it keep calling or stop every couple of minutes for a couple of minutes of silence? what's your opinions?

For calling coyotes we let it run for five minutes.  A couple of silence, and then ramp it up again just slightly louder. 
I don't know the calling sequence for bears, but it seems like it should work.  I know that different species you should sit longer than others.  ie if you're calling cats you should sit for an hour, while if you don't get coyotes by 20min you need to get up and move.

I got my bear this last weekend using my fawn in distress, non stop almost an hour to the min. and he came in.its my understanding that if the call stops they stop coming in.He went all the way up to the call smelled it.never freaked out just kinda started to meander around i watched him for a few minutes (in case it was a female with cubs) before i shot.

Good intel

I called a bear into the yard at my folks the evening I bought my Ki-Yi.  Took 20 minutes and he came in hot huffing and snapping jaws.  Unfortunately it was January, and 10:00 at night... but I'm looking forward to trying it next weekend in the woods.  Thought I will probably call for an hour at each position.
