Using Group Mode
SETTING UP GROUP MODE
Group mode lets you make direct calls to other
people in your group without alerting the entire
group and also lets you quickly change everyone
in your group to another channel from a single
radio. Before using group mode, follow the
instructions in "Setting Up Group Mode" on every
radio in your group. Then, to record the unit ID
and everyone's nickname in every radio, send a
call to "All" from each radio one time (see
"Sending a Direct Call").
Sending a Direct Call
Direct Call lets you call everyone in your group at
once, or call a single person in your group without
anyone else in the group knowing. It is like a
"speed dial" directly to the person(s) you want to
talk to.
To call everyone in your group, press CALL in
group mode. The radio flashes ALL. Then, press
CALL or ENTER/ . Everyone in your group
receives a call "chirp" for about 3 seconds. When
the chirp ends, begin your conversation.
Note: When you make a direct call to "all," your
radio also sends out your nickname or ID so that it
