■ About the Group (or Talkgroup) Call
The Talkgroup Call function enables the user to communicate with call-to parties in the same Talkgroup.
For example, in the illustration below, when IP501H “00004” in its normal group “10001” selects Talkgroup “20001,” it is
excluded from group “10001,” and can communicate with only IP501Hs “0006” and “0008” that belong to group “20001.”
L This function may be used only when the Talkgroup number is registered and the Talkgroup Call function is assigned to
a key by your dealer.
LAsk your dealer about whether or not to include the Talkgroup in the All Call.
