Making a Private Call

While you can receive and/or respond to a Private Call initiated by an authorized individual radio, your radio must be programmed for you to initiate a Private Call.

There are two types of Private Calls. The first type, where a radio presence check is performed prior to setting up the call, while the other sets up the call immediately.

Only one of these call types can be programmed to your radio by your dealer.

You hear a negative indicator tone, when you make a Private Call via the Menu, Call Log, Contacts list, One Touch Access button, the programmed number keys, Scroll Up/Down buttons, or the Volume/Channel Knob if this feature is not enabled.

Use the Text Message or Call Alert features to contact an individual radio. See Text Messaging Features on page 50 or Call Alert Operation on page 43 for more information.
