Section 2A: Making and Answering Calls 49
Making Calls
Using Just the Member ID
If you are contacting someone sharing your network and area
IDs, you only need to enter the member ID.
To make a Walkie-Talkie call using only the member ID:
1. Enter the member ID of a Walkie-Talkie number.
2. Press and hold the Walkie-Talkie button on the side of
your phone. Continue as you would on any Walkie-Talkie
call.
Using Stored Nextel Walkie-Talkie Numbers
You can also make Walkie-Talkie calls using numbers stored in
Contacts or Call History. Just access the appropriate
Walkie-Talkie number and make the call. This makes it easy to
call frequently-used Walkie-Talkie numbers.
To access a Walkie-Talkie number from Call History:
ᮣ Press
O
> Call History and then scroll left or right to go
to All Calls or Walkie-Talkie Calls. Scroll to and highlight
the Walkie-Talkie number you want.
To access a Walkie-Talkie number from Contacts:
1. Press Contacts (right softkey).
2. Scroll to and highlight the contact you want to call.
3. Use the navigation keys to scroll left and right to find
the Walkie-Talkie number (if it is not the first number
displayed).
Tip:
When you store a Walkie-Talkie number in Contacts, it is good
practice to include the whole number, including the asterisks.
