Making Group Calls
MAKING GROUP CALLS
A Group Call allows you to communicate instantly with members of a
selected Talkgroup–a pre-defined set of people who share a
communication need.
Talkgroups appear on your display as numbers or programmed
names, such as Talkgrp10 or Sales Team.
To make a Group Call:
1. Press until “Group Ready”
displays. Your most recently used
talkgroup displays, for example,
“Talkgrp 10”.
2. To place a call, do one of the
following:
• To speak to this talkgroup, press and
hold the PTT button. Wait for the chirp, then speak into the
microphone.
• To speak to another talkgroup, press or until you
see the desired talkgroup name. Press and hold the PTT
button.Wait for the chirp, then speak into the microphone.
3. To listen, release the PTT button.
Receiving a Group Call
When you receive an incoming Group call, you will hear a brief chirp-
like tone. Your i500plus automatically switches to Group mode, and
the Talkgroup name displays.
1. Your phone must be idle, that is, not busy in an active call or on
the browser.
2. Wait for the caller to finish speaking, then press and hold the
PTT button. Begin speaking after you hear the chirp.
3. To listen, release the PTT button.
You can receive group calls only in the Talkgroups that you have
predefined. For more information, see “Adding or Storing a
Talkgroup” on page 24.
