TMO Group Call

General

A Group Call is an instant communication between you and
others in a talkgroup that you select. Participants may join
(late entry) and leave an on-going Group Call. A talkgroup is
a pre-defined set of subscribers enabled to participate in and/
or invoke a Group Call, that is set up by your Service
Provider.
Talkgroups appear on your display as names or numbers (for
example: Sales, Service, Electricians, Talkgrp10).
Talkgroups can be divided into many folders. Each folder
may contain several talkgroups.
For ease of use, your MTP850 also provides the ability to:
• Perform an alphabetical search of the talkgroup aliases.
Scroll through the entire talkgroup list.
• Organise your groups into three folders (default name for
the first favorite folder is called My Groups which is set up
by your Service Provider).
Your talkgroups may be organized into scan lists (set up by
your Service Provider, or by yourself through the Menu).
When you activate one of these scan lists, your MTP850 will
continuously monitor the activities of the selected talkgroups.
By assigning priorities to the talkgroups defined in the scan
list, you will be capable of accepting calls that have higher
priority than the on-going call.
You can go to talkgroup, folder, or scanning selection when
the terminal is idle.
Pressing PTT during talkgroup selection switches to a new
group and starts a call.
Each talkgroup may have one associated Announcement
Talkgroup (ATG) that it monitors (if set up by your Service
Provider).
