Making Calls from Contacts

You can make phone calls and Walkie-Talkie calls from your contact list or from an open contact.

When you make a call from your contact list, the Smartphone dials the contact’s default number. The contact list abbreviation associated with the default number appears with the contact when you view the contact list. You can change a contact’s default number at any time.

You can view all the contact list abbreviations for all the numbers stored in this contact by scrolling to the name and then scrolling left and right.

A phone call is made to the phone number associated with the contact list abbreviation that is showing when you press s. When you make a call from an open contact, you can select the number to dial from the contact card.

If a contact contains a Walkie-Talkie number, you can make a Walkie-Talkie call to that number even if the contact list abbreviation for the Walkie-Talkie number (PTT) is not showing.
