If there is no voice activity for a predetermined period of
time, the call ends.
7You hear a short tone. The display shows Call Ended.
You can also make a Private Call via Contacts (see Making a
Private Call from Contacts on page 45) or perform a quick
alphanumeric search for the required alias via a keypad entry
(see Making a Call by Alias Search on page 46).
NOTE: If you release the PTT button while the radio is setting
up the call, it exits without any indication and returns to
the previous screen.
Your radio may be programmed to perform a radio
presence check prior to setting up the Private Call. If
the target radio is not available, you hear a short tone
and see negative mini notice on the display.
The radio returns to the menu prior to initiating the
radio presence check.
