A Private Call is a call from an individual radio to another

These one-to-one calls between two radios are not heard by
others in the current talkgroup. The calling radio automatically
verifies that the receiving radio is active on the system and can
display the caller ID.

inactivity timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle
and the timer expires. You will hear the Menu Inactive
Exit Tone upon feature exit.
Procedure:
When you receive a Private Call:
1
You hear two alert tones and the LED blinks green. The
display shows
Call received

Press the
Menu Select
button directly below
Resp
.
OR
Press the
Call Response
button within 20 seconds after the
call indicators begin.

During the call, the display shows the caller alias (name), if it
is in the call list.
