MAKING GROUP CALLS

A Group call allows you to instantly communicate with members of a
selected Talkgroup—a pre-defined set of people who share a
communication need.
Talkgroups appear on your display as numbers or programmed names,
such as Talkgrp10 or Sales Team.
To make a group call:
1. Press
Mode
displays. Your most recently used
talkgroup displays, for example,
"Talkgrp 10".
2. To speak, do one of the following:
• To place a call to this talkgroup,
press and hold the Push-to-Talk
(PTT) button. Wait for the chirp, then speak into the
microphone.
• To call another talkgroup, press
talkgroup name. Press and hold the PTT button. Wait for the
chirp, then speak into the microphone.
3. To listen, release the PTT button.

Receiving a Group Call

When you receive an incoming Group call, you hear a brief chirp-like
tone. Your i500plus automatically switches to Group mode, and the
talkgroup name displays.
1. Your phone must idle, that is, not busy in an active call or on the
browser.
2. Wait for the caller to finish speaking, then press and hold the PTT
button. Begin speaking after you hear the chirp.
3. To listen, release the PTT button.
You can receive group calls only in the talkgroups that you have
predefined. For more information, see ""Adding or Storing a
Talkgroup" on page 23".
Any communication activity within the talkgroup that you select
automatically switches your phone into Group mode.
