Motorola i205 manual Making Calls, Receiving Calls, Dialing Direct Connect Numbers

Making Calls

Your i205 phone makes two types of calls: digital cellular phone calls and Direct Connect calls. With Direct Connect calls, you use your phone as a long-range, digital walkie-talkie.

To make a phone call:

1Enter the number you want to call.

2Press s to place the call.

3Press e to end the call.

To make a Direct Connect call:

1Enter the Direct Connect number you want to call.

2Press and hold the PTT button on the side of your phone. Begin talking after your phone emits a chirping sound.

3Release the PTT button to listen.

Tip: To let someone know you want to talk to him or her on a Direct Connect call, send a call alert. See “Call Alerts” on page 25.

Dialing Direct Connect Numbers

Every Direct Connect number has 3 parts — an area ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an asterisk between each of these parts. For example: 999*999*9999.

When you place a Direct Connect call, you must enter the whole Direct Connect number including the asterisks.

Tip: When you store a Direct Connect number in Contacts it is good practice to include the whole Direct Connect number including the asterisks in case you travel with your phone, or another Direct Connect user, outside of your network.

Receiving Calls

When you receive a phone call, your phone rings, vibrates, or lights up its backlight.

To send a phone call to voice mail instead of answering it:
