Using Group Mode  
Talking on Your Radio  
USING THE RADIO  
Group mode lets you make direct calls to other  
people in your group without alerting the entire  
group and also lets you quickly change everyone in  
your group to another channel from a single radio.  
Before using group mode, follow the instructions in  
"Setting Up Group Mode" on every radio in your  
group. Then, to record the unit ID and everyones  
nickname in every radio, send a call to "All" from  
each radio one time (see "Sending a Direct Call").  
Note: In group mode, you cannot receive  
transmissions from other radios unless they are  
also set to the same channel and group code.
