The tone emitted from your phone when making a

Direct Talk call is four beeps and sounds different from the tone heard on Walkie-Talkie calls conducted on the network.

If you receive an error message, this means:

There may be no parties on your channel or code.

You are out of range.

When you receive a Code call using Direct Talk, your phone displays Direct Talk Transmitting, along with the channel and code selected. Answer a Direct Talk Code call just like you would any other Walkie-Talkie call.

Private Direct Talk Calls

Private Direct Talk allows you to silence all the calls on a channel that are not directed specifically at you. To do this, you must first set your phone to Private Only.

To set your phone to Private Only:

1.In Direct Talk mode, press Options (right softkey) and then select Edit Channel/Code.

2.With Channel number field highlighted, use your up and down navigation keys to set a channel number and press O.

3.Select Private Only and press O.

4.Select Done (left softkey).

To reach you, other Direct Talk callers must be on your same channel and dial your 10-digit wireless phone number to reach you.

Receiving a Private Direct Talk Call

The number or name of the person who initiated the call appears on your display screen. Answer the call in the same way you answer a regular Walkie-Talkie call.
