Answering Direct Connect Calls

When you receive a Direct Connect call, your phone
emits a tone or vibrates. You then hear the voice of
your caller.
1. Wait for the caller to finish speaking.
2. Press and hold the Direct Connect button on the
side of your phone. Continue as you would on any
Direct Connect call.
3. Press P to end the call.
A Direct Connect call ends automatically after there is
no activity on the call for several seconds.
Making and Answering Group Connect Calls
A Group Connect call is similar to a Direct Connect call
to one user, but is made to multiple Direct Connect
subscribers at once. You can create Groups from your
phone and call up to 20 other Group Connect-
compatible phones* anywhere on the Nextel National
Network. You can create a Group for one-time use or
store it to Contacts so you can call it at any time.
* Not all phones are Group Co nnect-compatible. See
www.nextel.com for more details on Group Connect.

Contcs & 25 Grps”. With this SIM card, a maximum of
25 groups can be added to your i576 phone. Group
entries created with your i576 phone may not be
readable by older iDEN SIM-based phones.
