Contacts Settings

Contacts provides "address-book" capabilities on your radio. Each entry corresponds to an alias or ID that you use to initiate a call.

Each entry, depending on context, associates with one of five types of calls: Group Call, Private Call, All Call, PC Call or Dispatch Call.

PC Call and Dispatch Call are data-related. They are only available with the applications. Refer to the data applications documentation for more information.

NOTE: If the Privacy feature is enabled on a channel, you

can make privacy-enabled Group Call, Private Call, and All Call on that channel. Only target radios with the same Privacy Key OR the same Key Value and Key ID as your radio will be able to unscramble the transmission. See Privacy on page 70 for more information.

Additionally, the Contacts menu allows you to assign each entry to one or more programmable number keys on the keypad.If an entry is assigned to a number key, your radio can perform a quick dial on the entry.

Your radio supports maximum of 1000 Contact list entries.

Each entry within Contacts displays the following information:
