T2T call types
You can make two types of walkie-talkie calls:
•A T2T call automatically connects to the other
party. The receiving party does not have the
option to ignore the call. It can be
–a private T2T call to a single T2T user, or
–a group T2T call to more than one T2T user.
•A T2T alert sends the receiving party a text
message and a message alert beep to indicate that
someone wants to speak with them. The receiving
party has the option to either answer or ignore the
call. T2T alerts are private calls only.

Making a private T2T call

1. There are six ways to start a private T2T call:
–Enter a 10-digit phone number
(including area code), then press the
walkie-talkie button.
–From the home screen, press the walkie-
talkie button to open the Touch to Talk
menu. Select T2T Contacts or T2T Groups
and press the walkie-talkie button. Highlight
a contact or group, then press the walkie-
talkie button to send the T2T call.
–Press the walkie-talkie button to access
Touch2Talk and then press the scroll button
up or down to scroll through menu items.
–Select Menu → Touch2Talk →
T2T Contacts and search for a saved T2T
contact. Highlight the contact and press the
walkie-talkie button.
–Select Menu → Contacts → T2T Contacts.
Highlight the contact and press the
walkie-talkie button.
–Select Menu → Recent Calls, select a list
(Incoming Calls, Outgoing Calls, or
MissedCalls), highlight a call, and press
the walkie-talkie button.
2. Listen for the “Ready to Speak” tone
(three rapid chirps).
Note: If the contact is unavailable or offline, a
message appears on the phone’s screen.
3. Speak while pressing the walkie-talkie button.
4. Release the walkie-talkie button when finished
speaking. This allows the called party to reply.
5. Wait for the “Ready to Speak” tone, then press
the walkie-talkie button again to speak.
6. To end the T2T call, press . If the other
party ends the call, no action is required.
Tip: If you originate a call to a person who is
actively engaged in a cellular call or a T2T call, you
hear the “Ready to Speak” tone and your voice
message is stored. The other party can choose to
answer or ignore the new incoming call. If they
answer the call, they will hear your voice message,
and then you and the other party will hear the
“Floor Free” tone (a single high-pitched beep).
