Receiving a TMO Group Call
Unless it is engaged in a call, your MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex will
receive the Group Call. To answer the call, press and hold PTT.
Your MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex shows the group name and the
caller's private number or alias if previously stored in your contact
list.
Receiving a TMO Broadcast Call
The Broadcast Call (also called Site Wide Call) is a high-priority
Group Call from the console operator (or dispatcher) to all users.
The MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Exs are configured to monitor a
Broadcast Call, but users cannot talk back.
The Broadcast Call pre-empts an on-going Group Call that has the
same (or lower) call priority.
DMO Group Calls
In DMO the MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex can be used without your
Service Provider's infrastructure.

Ex/MTP810 Ex.
DMO it is only possible to place the following call types:

the MTP850 Ex/MTP810 Ex.
