Initiating a Group Call
Press and hold the PTT button to initiate a
group call on your Primary Talkgroup.
The example to the right illustrates the dis-
play if Fred pressed the PTT to initiate a
call on the Electricians talkgroup. This is
Fred’s Primary Talkgroup for Mode 3.
All subscriber units that have affiliated with
your Primary Talkgroup as either a Primary
or Secondary Talkgroup in any Talkgroup
Mode will receive your group call if they are
not already engaged in an active call.
The following screens will be displayed on the receiver subscriber
units indicating they have joined the call. The second line of the
display will indicate the Mode number followed by Primary or Sec-
ondary Talkgroup, which may be aliased. The third line of the dis-
play indicates the PTT-ID of the unit initiating the group call, which
can also be aliased.
Example: Jason joins the Electricians talk-
group. He has also selected Electricians as
his Primary Talkgroup for Talkgroup 3, but
he has no alias for his talkgroup, so the Talk-
group number (TG ID) is displayed. Fred’s
PTT-ID is displayed on the third line.
Example: Julie joins the call and the unit
updates the alias to indicate active Second-
ary Talkgroup. (Mode 1, Secondary Talk-
group 3). Fred’s PTT-ID is displayed on the
third line.
