Section 2A: Making and Answering Calls 63
Making Calls
If you receive an error message, this means:
ⅷ There may be no parties on your channel or code.
ⅷ You are out of range.
When you receive a Code call using Direct Talk, your phone
displays Receiving, along with the channel and code selected.
Answer a Direct Talk Code call just like you would any other
Walkie-Talkie call.
Private Nextel Direct Talk Calls
Private Direct Talk allows you to silence all the calls on a
channel that are not directed specifically at you. To do this,
you must first set your phone to Private Only.
To set your phone to Private Only:
1. In Direct Talk mode, press Options (right softkey) and
then select Edit Channel/Code.
2. With Code number field highlighted, use your up and
down navigation keys to select Private Only and
press
O
.
3. Press Save (left softkey).
To reach you, other Direct Talk callers must be on your same
channel and dial your 10-digit wireless phone number to
reach you.
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 Walkie-Talkie call.
A Private Direct Talk call ends a short time after the last party
releases the Walkie-Talkie button. The display screen returns
to Direct Talk standby mode.
