Making and Answering Direct Talk Calls

Nextel Direct Talk allows for two-way radio communication “off the network” between two or more phones equipped with this capability. This feature is very useful in areas without network coverage.

You can make:

䢇 Code calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the

network and using open channels and codes. In these calls, anyone using your same channel and code can hear your conversation.

䢇 Private calls – two-way radio calls conducted off the

network and using the wireless phone numbers of the participants. In these calls, others using the same channel cannot listen in.

When using Direct Talk mode, the two phones should be a minimum of six feet apart to maximize performance and improve transmission range. You can only make Direct Talk calls to users located within your range. This varies according to terrain, man-made structures, and atmospheric conditions.

Section 2A. Making and Answering Calls 55

To make Direct Talk Code calls, both parties must be on the same channel and code and have their phones set to Direct Talk. Be aware that others using both your same code and channel can hear your conversation. And, you can hear their conversations as well.

To set a channel and code:

1. In Direct Talk mode, press Edit (left softkey).
