Making Emergency Calls While In Direct Talk Mode
If you attempt to make an emergency 911 call while in Direct
Talk mode, your phone automatically exits Direct Talk mode
and attempts to find a network signal.
If you are out of network coverage, your phone cannot make
an emergency 911 call until you return to the network
coverage area. You must wait until the phone reconnects to
the network before attempting to make an emergency 911
call.

Direct Talk setup options are available in the DT Options
screen in both network and Direct Talk modes.
You can set your phone to:
䢇 Launch directly into Direct Talk when you select Direct
Talk from the Walkie-Talkie menu.

Talk mode.
