Direct mode basics

In direct mode, the radio operates without the network, so the radios are
communicating directly with each other. Direct mode enables one-way
calls both in the network coverage area and outside the network
coverage area. For details and availability, contact your service provider.
Note: When direct mode is active, only those radio functions that do not
require the use of the network can be used. For example, in direct mode
you cannot send or receive status or text messages, make or receive
network mode calls, use WAP or the data connection or activate fast
menu items that require the use of the network. To use radio functions
that require the use of the network, activate network mode and return
to the network coverage area.
Your radio has direct mode channels and each channel can have up to
three groups. To receive a direct mode call that is made to the selected
or a scanned group on the selected channel, the user must be in the
coverage area of the transmitting radio. The radio coverage areas of
different users can vary; even if you can hear a conversation, not all
those speaking can necessarily hear you. For communication to be
efficient, all the users should be within each other's radio coverage
areas.
