1.Press Mode until “Group Ready” displays. Your most recently used talkgroup displays, for example, “Talkgrp 10”.

2.To place a call, do one of the following:

Group Ready Talkgrp 10

• To speak to this talkgroup, press and

hold the PTT button. Wait for the chirp, then speak into the microphone.

•To speak to another talkgroup, press or until you see the desired talkgroup name. Press and hold the PTT button.Wait for the chirp, then speak into the microphone.

3.To listen, release the PTT button.

Receiving a Group Call

When you receive an incoming Group call, you will hear a brief chirp- like tone. Your i500plus automatically switches to Group mode, and the Talkgroup name displays.

1.Your phone must be idle, that is, not busy in an active call or on the browser.

2.Wait for the caller to finish speaking, then press and hold the PTT button. Begin speaking after you hear the chirp.

3.To listen, release the PTT button.

You can receive group calls only in the Talkgroups that you have predefined. For more information, see “Adding or Storing a Talkgroup” on page 24.
