GROUP CALLS
A group call is a call initiated by a radio user to a group of radio users.
Transmitting a Group Call
When transmitting a group call, the icon appears in the display. A group call can be
transmitted using either method described in the following subsections.
When transmitting (i.e., PTT
key depressed), hold the front of the radio between 1 to 2 inches
from your mouth and speak into the microphone at a normal voice level. This will ensure optimal
reception at the receiving radio unit(s). Never shout or whisper when transmitting. As illustrated
on page 6, the radio’s microphone is located just above the display.
Transmitting a Group Call to the Preset Contact
While in the home screen, hold down the radio’s PTT key to transmit a group call to the Group Call contact
preset for the currently selected channel. Release the PTT key to stop transmitting, and listen for a reply. See
Receiving and Responding to a Group Call for additional information.
Each digital channel may be pre-programmed with a preset contact by your dealer. The preset
contact can be a Private Call contact, a Group Call contact, or an All Call contact.

2. Select Contact > Contact List.
3. Press the Up/Down key to select the Group Call contact desired for calling. In this list, each Group Call
