60 Section 2A: Making and Answering Calls
The tone emitted from your phone when making a
Direct Talk call is four beeps and sounds different from the
tone heard on Walkie-Talkie calls conducted on the network.
If you receive an error message, this means:
䢇 There may be no parties on your channel or code.
䢇 You are out of range.
When you receive a Code call using Direct Talk, your phone
displays Direct Talk Transmitting, along with the channel and
code selected. Answer a Direct Talk Code call just like you
would any other Walkie-Talkie call.
Private Direct Talk Calls
Private Direct Talk allows you to silence all the calls on a
channel that are not directed specifically at you. To do this,
you must first set your phone to Private Only.
To set your phone to Private Only:
1. In Direct Talk mode, press Options (right softkey) and
then select Edit Channel/Code.
2. With Channel number field highlighted, use your up and
down navigation keys to set a channel number and
press
O.
3. Select Private Only and press O.
4. Select Done (left softkey).
To reach you, other Direct Talk callers must be on your same
channel and dial your 10-digit wireless phone number to
reach you.
Receiving a Private Direct Talk Call
The number or name of the person who initiated the call
appears on your display screen. Answer the call in the same
way you answer a regular Walkie-Talkie call.
