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:
You may not be using a valid wireless phone
number.
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.
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.
You cannot initiate a call when the code is set to
Receive All. If you press the DC button to initiate a
Direct Connect call and your code is set to Receive All,
you receive an error message.
To set the code to Receive All:
1. In Direct Talk mode, press Edit (left softkey) >
Code > Receive All.
2. Press Back (right softkey) to return to the Direct Talk
standby screen.
