Answering a Direct Connect or Group Connect Call
1. When you receive a Direct Connect or Group Connect call, your BlackBerry device emits a
tone or vibrates, after which you may hear the voice of your caller. (In consideration of
privacy, many callers will initiate the call and await a reply before speaking.)
2. If applicable, wait for the caller to finish speaking.
3. Press and hold the DC button ( ) on the side of your BlackBerry device. Begin
speaking after you hear a chirping sound.
4. Release the DC button to listen.
5. To end the call, press the END/Power key ( ) or wait for the call to terminate.
Direct Connect and Group Connect calls end automatically after there is no activity for
several seconds.
