Direct Talk
Nextel Direct Talk allows for two-way radio
communication “off the network” between two or more
phones equipped with this capability. This feature is
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
Page 55
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.
Most traditional phone features are not available in
Direct Talk mode, including on-network phone calls;
Direct Connect, Group Connect, Talkgroup calls, and
Call Alerts; data services; messaging; call timers; and
call forwarding.
Setting Your Phone to Direct Talk

of your phones must be set to Direct Talk mode.
1. Press / > Push To Talk > Direct Talk.

the display screen. Your phone displays the last
channel and code used for Direct Talk.
To return to network mode from Direct Talk:
1. Press / > Push To Talk > DT Options.
2. Select Exit Direct Talk.
After a few seconds, your phone returns to network
service.
Code Direct Talk Calls

set to Direct Talk. Anyone within range who is set to the
same code and channel can hear all conversations.
