You can make:
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.
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.
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.
