Contact entries are alphabetically sorted according to entry alias. Each alias can have up to five IDs of
different call types associated with it.
Also, each entry, depending on context (conventional, trunking, or phone), associates with one or more
of the following types of calls:
• Phone Call

• Call Alert
Each entry within Contacts contains the following information:
• Call Alias (Name)
• Call ID (Number)
• Call Type (Icon)

NOTICE: Your radio must be preprogrammed to allow you to add, edit, or delete the contact
entries.
Your radio also supports a maximum of 50 call lists. Each list can store up to 100 IDs.
