56 Section 2A. Making and Answering Calls
Receiving a Private Direct Talk Call
The number or name of the person who initiated the
call appears on your display screen. Answer the call in
the same way you answer a regular Direct Connect
call.
A Private Direct Talk call ends a short time after the last
party releases the Direct Connect button. The display
screen returns to Direct Talk standby mode.
Making a Private Direct Talk Call
You can make Private Direct Talk calls to any person on
your same channel. You do not need to set your phone
to Private Only.
To make a private Direct Talk Call:
1. In Direct Talk mode, enter the ten-digit wireless
phone number of the person you want to call on
your channel. (You can also scroll to the number in
Contacts or Recent Calls list.)
2. Make the call in the same way you make a regular
Direct Connect call. The number or name of the
person you are calling appears on your display
screen.
If you receive an error message, it means:
ⅷ You may not be using a valid wireless phone
number.
ⅷ The person that you are trying to reach may not be in
Direct Talk mode.
ⅷ The person that you are trying to reach is set to a
different channel, or is out of range.
Receiving All Calls on a Channel
You can set your phone to receive all Direct Talk
transmissions that are within range and set to the same
channel. Do this by selecting
Receive All, instead of a
code.
However, you cannot initiate a call when the code is set
to Receive All. If you press the Direct Connect button to
initiate a Direct Connect call and your code is set to
Receive All, you receive an error message.
Note
You do not need to set your phone to Private Only to
receive Private calls. As long as you are on the same
channel as your caller, you can receive Private Direct
Talk calls.
