A DC number has three parts. When you enter a DC number, 
you must separate all the three parts with an asterisk. A DC 
number contains a maximum of 15 characters (including 
asterisks), and the number of digits in each part of a DC number 
may vary; for example, 000*00000*00000 and 
99*99999*999999. You must have all 3 parts when calling iDEN 
or 3G users. 

1.

 

In standby mode, enter a DC number directly by using the 
number pad. 

2.

 

Push and hold the DC button on the left side of your phone. 
Then speak after your hear the Chrip sound. 

3.

 

When you finish speaking, release the DC button to listen. 
The call will end automatically if no party speaks for several 
seconds.
