Making Calls
Your i205 phone makes two types of calls: digital
cellular phone calls and Direct Connect calls. With
Direct Connect calls, you use your phone as a
long-range, digital walkie-talkie.
To make a phone call:
1 Enter the number you want to call.
2 Press
s
to place the call.
3 Press
e
to end the call.
To make a Direct Connect call:
1 Enter the Direct Connect number you want to call.
2 Press and hold the PTT button on the side of your
phone. Begin talking after your phone emits a
chirping sound.
3 Release the PTT button to listen.
Tip: To let someone know you want to talk to him
or her on a Direct Connect call, send a call
alert. See “Call Alerts” on page 25.
Dialing Direct Connect Numbers
Every Direct Connect number has 3 parts — an area
ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an
asterisk between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
When you place a Direct Connect call, you must
enter the whole Direct Connect number including
the asterisks.
Tip: When you store a Direct Connect number in
Contacts it is good practice to include the
whole Direct Connect number including the
asterisks in case you travel with your phone,
or another Direct Connect user, outside of
your network.
Receiving Calls
When you receive a phone call, your phone rings,
vibrates, or lights up its backlight.
