Receiving and Responding to a Private Call
(Trunking Only)
A Private Call is a call from an individual radio to another
individual radio.
These one-to-one calls between two radios are not heard by
others in the current talkgroup. The calling radio automatically
verifies that the receiving radio is active on the system and can
display the caller's ID.
Note: The radio automatically exits the feature, if the feature
inactivity timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle
and the timer expires. You will hear the Inactive Exit
Tone upon feature exit.
Procedure:
When you receive a Private Call:
1
You hear two alert tones and the LED blinks green. The
backlight of the screen turns green and the display shows
CALL RCV, alternating with the caller alias (name) or ID
(number).
2
Press the Call Response button within 20 seconds after the
call indicators begin.
3
Press and hold the PTT button to talk. Release the PTT
button to listen.
4
Press the Call Response button to hang up and return to
the Home screen.
You cannot initiate a Private Call.
