headset, and you have the Flip to End
option set to On, closing your flip sends
incoming sound to the headset and does
not end the call.

Group Calls

A group call is similar to an InstantLINC Mobile to
Mobile call, but is made to all members of a
Talkgroup at once. A Talkgroup is a predetermined
group of SouthernLINC Wireless customers.
Before you can make or receive group calls, a
Talkgroup must be established. After the Talkgroup
is established, you must join the Talkgroup.
Joining a Talkgroup
Your sales representative or SouthernLINC
Wireless establishes Talkgroups for you and
assigns each Talkgroup a Talkgroup number. You
can choose a name for each of your Talkgroups
when you create entries for them in Contacts.
To receive group calls made to any of these
Talkgroups, you must join the Talkgroup.
1 Press A under Contcs. -or-
From the main menu, scroll to Contacts and
press O.
