Group Call
RECEIVING A GROUP CALL
No action is necessary to receive a Group Call as long as your unit
is idle (not engaged in an active Phone or Private Call).
Any communication activity within the talkgroup you’ve selected
will cause your unit to automatically switch into Group Mode and
receive the transmission as long as your portable is powered on.
GROUP/PRIVATE SPEAKER
Your portable lets you choose to hear the audio through the ear-
piece or the speaker in Group and Private modes. If the Group/
Private Speaker is set on, incoming audio will be heard through
the speaker. This is helpful in monitoring talkgroup activity.
If the Group/Private Speaker is set off, a brief alert tone will
notify you of activity within the talkgroup or Private Call. Incom-
ing audio will be heard through the earpiece.
Press
to turn the Group/Private Speaker on or off.
AREA SELECTION
When in Group mode, you may select to send your communica-
tion to only those talkgroup members in a specific location. This
is useful when you know where the individuals (you wish to
reach) are located within the service area.

2. Press
under “Area”.
3. Press
to scroll through the targeted areas specified by
your local service provider.
4. Press

selected will appear on the last line of your display.
SERVICE AREA RESTRICTION

Private mode when you travel outside an authorized service area.
