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.

Use the Text Message or Call Alert features to contact an

individual radio. See Text Message Features on page 72 or

Call Alert Operation on page 63 for more information.

Procedure:

1 Select the channel with the active subscriber alias or ID.

See Selecting a Channel on page 23.

Press the programmed One Touch Access button.

2 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from

your mouth.

3 Press the PTT button to make the call. The LED lights up

solid green. The Private Call icon appears in the top right

corner. The first text line shows the subscriber alias. The

second text line displays the call status.

4 Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and

speak clearly into the microphone.

5 Release the PTT button to listen. When the target radio

responds, the LED blinks green.

6 If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you hear a

short alert tone the moment the target radio releases the

PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond.

Press the PTT button to respond.

If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period of

time, the call ends.

7 You hear a short tone. The display shows Call Ended.

You can also make a Private Call via Contacts (see Making a

Private Call from Contacts on page 52) or perform a quick

alphanumeric search for the required alias via a keypad entry

(see Making a Call by Alias Search on page 55).
