Private Calls
A Private Call is a call from an individual radio to another
individual radio.
There are two ways to set up a Private Call. The first type
sets up the call after performing a radio presence check,
while the second type sets up the call immediately. Only
one of these types can be programmed to your radio by
your dealer.
If your radio is programmed to perform a radio presence
check prior to setting up the Private Call and the target
radio is not available:
• A tone sounds.
• The display shows a negative mini notice.
• The radio returns to the menu prior to initiating the radio
presence check.
See Privacy on page 348 for more information.
