Making a Private Call ![](/images/new-backgrounds/1309095/30909557xi2.webp)
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 One Touch Access button or the Channel Selector Knob, if this feature is not enabled.
Use the Quick Text Message or Call Alert features to contact an individual radio. See Text Messaging Features on page 30 or Call Alert Operation on page 26 for more information.
Procedure:
1Select the channel with the active group alias or ID. See Selecting a Channel on page 14.
OR
Press the programmed One Touch Access button.
2Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.
3Press the PTT button to make the call. The LED lights up solid green.
4Wait for the Talk Permit Tone to finish (if enabled) and speak clearly into the microphone.
5Release the PTT button to listen. When the target radio responds, the LED blinks green.
6If the Channel Free Indication feature is enabled, you hear a short alert tone the moment the target radio releases the PTT button, indicating the channel is free for you to respond. Press the PTT button to respond.
OR
If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period of time, the call ends.
7You hear a short tone.

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

2Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.
