Making Calls
To make a Walkie-Talkie call:
1
If the flip is open, enter the Walkie-Talkie number
you want to call.
-or-
If the flip is closed, choose the number as you
would when making a phone call.
2
Press and hold the Walkie-Talkie button on the
side of your phone. Begin talking after your
phone emits a chirping sound.
3
Release the Walkie-Talkie button to listen.
A Walkie-Talkie call ends automatically if there is
no activity on the call for a few seconds.
Tip:
To let someone know you want to talk to
him or her on a Walkie-Talkie call, send a
call alert. See “Call Alerts” on page 54.
Dialing Walkie-Talkie Numbers
Every Walkie-Talkie number has 3 parts — an area
ID, a network ID, and a member ID — with an
asterisk between each of these parts. For example:
999*999*9999.
When you place a Walkie-Talkie call, you must
enter the whole Walkie-Talkie number including the
asterisks.
Tip:
When you store a Walkie-Talkie number in
Contacts, it is good practice to include the
whole Walkie-Talkie number, including the
asterisks.
