Group Calls

Much simpler than setting up a conference call, a Group call allows
you to communicate instantly with members of a selected group—a
pre-defined set of individuals who share a common communication
need. This group is called a Talkgroup.
Talkgroups appear on your display as numbers or programmed
names, such as, SALES TEAM or Talkgrp5. You'll want to make a
Group call if you want to talk to more than one person at a time.
Either your sales representative or Nextel Customer Care (1-800-639-
6111) can help you set up your Talkgroups. After they give you your
Talkgroup number, you can name the Talkgroup by entering

Making a Group Call

To contact the last group that you called:
1. From the "Group Ready" mode, your
most recently used talkgroup displays,
for example, "Talkgrp 10".
2. To place a call to this talkgroup, press
and hold the PTT button.
3. Wait for the chirp, then speak into the
microphone.
4. To listen, release the PTT button.
To select a Talkgroup from your Talkgroup list:
1. Press to scroll to the desired talkgroup name.
2. Press and hold the PTT button to talk now, or press "Ok" to
select the Talkgroup.

Receiving a Group Call

When you receive an incoming Group call, you will hear a brief chirp-
like tone. Your i 500 plus automatically switches to Group mode, and
the Talkgroup name displays.
Your phone must be idle, that is, not busy in an active call or on the
browser in Net Mode (future availability).
To join a Group call:
1. Wait for the caller to finish speaking.
2. Press and hold the PTT button. Begin speaking after you hear the
chirp.
3. To listen, release the PTT button.
