46 3. Making and Answering Calls

To make a private Direct Talk Call:
1. In Direct Talk mode, enter a ten-digit wireless
phone number. (You can also select a number
from Contacts or Recent Calls.)
2. Make the call in the same way you make a regular
Direct Connect call.
If you receive an error message, it means:
䢇You may not be using a valid wireless phone
number.
䢇The person that you are trying to reach may not be in
Direct Talk mode.
䢇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.
You cannot initiate a call when the code is set to
Receive All. If you press the DC 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. From the home screen, press Menuh > Tune
Direct Talk.
2. select the Code field, scroll to Receive All and press
r to select it.
3. Select Done.
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.
