Sprint Nextel NNTN9124A manual Receiving All Calls on a Channel, Making a PrivateDirect Talk Call

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

Note: You do not need to set your phone to Private Only to receive Private calls. If you are on the same channel as your caller, you can receive Private Direct Talk calls.

Making a PrivateDirect Talk Call

You can make Private Direct Talk calls to any person on your same channel. You do not need to set your phone to Private Only.

To make a private Direct Talk Call:

1.In Direct Talk mode, enter a ten-digit wireless phone number. (You can also select a number from Contacts or Recent Calls.)

2.Make the call in the same way you make a regular Direct Connect call.

If you receive an error message, it means:

⬤You may not be using a valid wireless phone number.

⬤The person that you are trying to reach may not be in Direct Talk mode.

⬤The person that you are trying to reach is set to a different channel, or is out of range.

Receiving All Calls on a Channel

You can set your phone to receive all Direct Talk transmissions that are within range and set to the same channel. Do this by selecting Receive All, instead of a code.

You cannot initiate a call when the code is set to Receive All. If you press the DC button to initiate a Direct Connect call and your code is set to Receive All, you receive an error message.

To set the code to Receive All:

1.From the home screen, press / > Direct Talk.

2.Touch the Code field, scroll to Receive All and touch to select it.
