Private 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 Edit (left softkey) >
Code > Pvt Only.
2. Press Back (right softkey) to return to the Direct Talk
standby screen.
To reach you, other Direct Talk callers must be on your
same channel and dial your ten-digit wireless phone
number to reach you.
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 a ten-digit wireless
phone number. (You can also select a number
from Contacts or Recent Calls.)
2. Make the call in the same way you make a regular
Direct Connect call.
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.
Note: You do not need to set your phone to Private Only to
receive Private calls. If you are on the same channel as
your caller, you can receive Private Direct Talk calls.
