Receiving and Responding to a Private
Call (Trunking Only)
A Private Call is a call from one individual radio to another.
The one-to-one call between the two radios are not heard
by the others in the current talkgroup. The calling radio
automatically verifies that the receiving radio is active on
the system and can display the caller ID.
NOTICE:
With the inactivity timer enabled (optional), when
there is no response from the receiving radio, the
calling radio exits the call with Menu Inactive Exit
tone after the timer expires.
When you receive a Private Call, you hear two alert tones
and the LED blinks green. The display shows Call
received and the call received icon blinks.
1 Perform one of the following actions:
• Press the Menu Select button directly below
Resp.
• Press the Call Response button within 20
seconds after the call indicators begin.
If the caller alias is in the call list, the display shows
the caller alias during the call.
If the caller name is not in the call list, the display
shows the caller ID.
