Making Calls
δΆ‡ The person that you are trying to reach is set to a different
channel, or is out of range.
Receiving All Calls on a Channel
You can set your phone to receive all Direct Talk transmissions
that are within range and set to the same channel. Do this by
selecting Receive All, instead of a code.
However, you cannot initiate a call when the code is set to
Receive All. If you press the Direct Connect button to initiate a
Direct Connect call and your code is set to Receive All, you
receive an error message.
To set the code to Receive All:
1. In Direct Talk mode, press Edit (left softkey).
2. Select Code
3. Select Receive All.
4. Press Back (right softkey) to return to the Direct Talk
standby screen.
Making Emergency Calls While in Direct Talk Mode
If you attempt to make an emergency 911 call while in Direct
Talk mode, your phone automatically exits Direct Talk mode
and attempts to find a network signal.
If you are out of network coverage, your phone cannot make
an emergency 911 call until you return to a network coverage
area. You must wait until the phone reconnects to a network
before attempting to make an emergency 911 call.
