7. Direct mode
■
Basics
In the direct mode, the radio operates without the network, so that the radios
communicate directly with each other. The direct mode enables one-way calls
both in the network coverage area and outside the network coverage area. For
details and availability, contact your service provider.
When the direct mode is active, only those radio functions that do not require the
use of the network can be used. In the direct mode, you cannot send or receive
status or text messages, make or receive network mode calls, use the Web browser
or the data connection, or activate fast menu items that require the use of the
network. To use radio functions that require the use of the network, activate the
network mode, and return to the network coverage area.
Your radio has direct mode channels, and each channel can have up to three
groups. To receive a direct mode call that is made to the selected or a scanned
group on the selected channel, the user must be in the coverage area of the
transmitting radio. The radio coverage areas of different users can vary; even if
you can hear a conversation, not all those speaking can necessarily hear you. For
communication to be efficient, all the users should be within each other's radio
coverage areas.
