When and where to use:
A Private Call is a call from one individual radio to another.
The one-to-one call between the two radios are not heard by the others in the current talkgroup. The
calling radio automatically verifies that the receiving radio is active on the system and can display the
caller ID.
NOTICE: With the inactivity timer enabled (optional), when there is no response from the
receiving radio, the calling radio exits the call with Menu Inactive Exit tone after the timer
expires.
When you receive a Private Call, you hear two alert tones and the LED blinks green. The display
shows Call received and the caller alias or ID.
Procedure:
1 Press the Menu Select button directly below Resp within 20 seconds after the call indicators
begin.
If the caller alias is in the call list, the display shows the caller alias during the call.
If the caller name is not in the call list, the display shows the caller ID.
2 Press and hold the PTT button to talk. Release the PTT button to listen.
3 Press to hang up and return to the Home screen.
NOTICE: If you press PTT button before pressing the Menu Select button directly below Resp,
your conversation will be heard by all members of the talk group.
