Private Calls, Call Alerts, and Group Calls

This chapter explains how to make, receive, and manage Private calls, call alerts, and group calls.

Private calls let you use your Smartphone as a long-range, digital walkie-talkie. Call alerts let the recipient know you would like to talk to him or her on a Private call. Group calls are Private calls to more than one Private ID at the same time.

Making a Private Call

There are several ways to make a Private call. This section describes how to make a call from the following locations:

•From the Home screen

•From Contacts

•From the recent calls list

Making a Private Call from the Home Screen

On the Home screen, you can call someone by entering a phone number or a contact name using the keypad.

As you begin pressing keys, your Smartphone displays the names from your Contacts and recent call list whose name or phone number match your entry. You can then select the name or number to call without having to enter the entire name or number.

Contacts appear on the Home screen with this icon and a contact list abbreviation. If a contact contains a Private ID, you can make a Private call to that number even if the contact list abbreviation for the Private ID (PTT) is not showing.

Note: For more information about contact list abbreviations, see “Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks” on page 60.

Make a Private call by entering a Private ID

•If you see the number or contact name to call, scroll to it.

•If you do not see the number or contact name, finish entering the number.

2Press and hold the PTT button on the side of your Smartphone.

3Begin talking after your Smartphone emits a chirping sound.

4Release the PTT button to listen.

5To end the call:

•Wait a few seconds for the call to end automatically.
