Making a Private Call
While you can receive and/or respond to a Private Call
initiated by an authorized individual radio, your radio
must be programmed for you to initiate a Private Call.
There are two types of Private Calls. The first type, where a
radio presence check is performed prior to setting up the call,
while the other sets up the call immediately.
Only one of these call types can be programmed to your
radio by your dealer.
You hear a negative indicator tone, when you make a Private
Call via the Contacts list, Call Log, One Touch Access button,
the programmed number keys, or the Channel Selector Knob,
if this feature is not enabled.
