Section 2A: Making and Answering Calls 61
Making Calls
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.
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 the 10-digit wireless phone
number of the person you want to call on your channel.
(You can also scroll to the number in Contacts or
Call History.)
2. Make the call in the same way you make a regular
Walkie-Talkie call. The number or name of the person
you are calling appears on your display screen.
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.
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.
Note:
You do not need to set your phone to Private Only to
receive Private calls. As long as you are on the same
channel as your caller, you can receive Private Direct Talk
calls.
