Talk Mode
SM
To make a call on a specific code and channel
using Direct Talk:
1 From the Direct Talk idle screen or the channel
and code edit screen, press and hold the
Walkie-Talkie button. Transmit appears on the
display. Begin speaking after your phone emits
the Direct Talk tone.
2 Release the Walkie-Talkie button to listen.
The tone emitted from your phone when making a
Direct Talk call is 4 beeps and sounds different
from the standard tone heard with Walkie-Talkie
calls, Group Walkie-Talkie calls, and Talkgroup
calls.
If you receive an error message:
• There may be no parties on your channel or
code.
• You are out of range.
When you receive a call using Direct Talk, Receive
appears on the display.
Receive All
You can set your phone to receive Direct Talk
transmissions from any phone that is set to the
same channel, regardless of the code (1-15), by
setting the code to Receive All. When you receive
transmissions with the code set to Receive All, the
display changes from Receive All to the code on
which the transmission was received.
Note: You cannot initiate a call when the code is
set to Receive All. If you press the
Walkie-Talkie button with the code set to
Receive All, you will receive an error
message.

Edit.
