Private Direct Talk
SM
Calls
You can have a private conversation with another
person using Direct Talk. When on a private Direct
Talk call, no other parties can hear your
conversation. In order to make a private Direct Talk
call, you must use the valid Nextel 10-digit
Personal Telephone Number (PTN) of the person
you are calling. The person you are calling must be
in Direct Talk mode and set to the same channel to
receive your call.
If you receive an error message:
• You may not be using a valid PTN.
• The person that you are trying to reach may not
be in Direct Talk mode.
• The person that you are trying to reach is set to
a different channel or is out of range.
Private Only
To limit Direct Talk to private conversation only, set
your code to Private Only. In this mode, code calls
will be ignored and only private calls can be made
or received.
Note: You will be required to enter a valid PTN
before pressing the PTT button.
To set the code to Private Only:
1 From the Direct Talk idle screen, press A
under Edit.
2 Scroll to Code.
3 Press A under Edit.
4 Select Private Only.
