Q
Receive a group call
You can receive group calls from your selected talk group, the home group,
and the scanned groups in the selected folder.
When you receive a group call, the folder and group names, the caller’s name
or number, and
(receiving) are displayed in the idle mode. Also a group
call starting tone can be played, if your organisation has defined it. The
location data of the caller you speak with can also be displayed (direction,
distance, possibly an arrow to indicate the direction to the caller; in
emergency calls the location of the caller displayed as coordinates). This
feature requires a parameter.
When nobody is speaking during a group call,
is displayed if the call
comes from your selected group, and
is displayed if the call comes from a
scanned group.
Tip:
You can use the menu when you are listening to a group call.
Respond to a group call
Press and hold the PTT key while the group name is displayed.
If you have set the PTT key to always make a call to the selected group, the
call is made to the selected group even if another group name is displayed;
see PTT key settings on page 40. To make a call to another group, first set it
as the selected group; see Select a talk group on page 39.
If the call indicator has changed to
or , the call has been disconnected,
and pressing and holding the PTT key will start a new call to the group.
To queue for your turn to talk during a group call, press and hold the PTT key
(network service). A queuing tone is played, and
is displayed. You
can start speaking after a short tone is played and
appears on the display.
To stop queuing, release the PTT key.
Tip:
You can also respond to a group call when you are using the
menu. The icon of the group call (

displayed in the menu.
