Red Key Calls And Emergency Calls In Direct Mode - Nokia THR880i User Manual

When calls are routed through the direct mode gateway device, they are not
connected as fast as normal direct mode calls.
When the radio is on a direct mode channel and group where a compatible direct
mode repeater device is available, Repeater is displayed in the standby mode, and
during direct mode calls, is displayed. On such a channel and group, the
coverage area in making and receiving direct mode calls may be extended. The
calls are routed through the repeater device to such radios in its coverage area
that are in the direct mode on the same channel and group, and that support that
type of repeater devices.
If the connection to the repeater device is lost, Repeater connection lost is
displayed, and the radio will continue to operate in normal direct mode.
See also Direct mode settings on page 104.

■ Red key calls and emergency calls in direct mode

If you are not within the network coverage area, you cannot make emergency calls
or red key calls to network mode destinations.
If you attempt to make an emergency call to an emergency number in the direct
mode, the radio switches to the network mode, attempts to connect to the
network, and attempts to make the call.
For each direct mode channel, your organisation can define whether the radio
attempts to make red key calls in the direct mode to a predefined direct mode
group, or switches to the network mode and attempts to make the call to the
destination that is predefined for red key calls in network mode.
