initiated by an authorized individual radio, your radio must
be programmed for you to initiate a Private Call.

radio presence check is performed prior to setting up the call,
while the other sets up the call immediately.
Only one of these call types can be programmed to your radio
by your dealer.

Call via the Menu, Call Log, Contacts list, One Touch Access
button, the programmed number keys, Scroll Up/Down
buttons, or the Volume/Channel Knob if this feature is not
enabled.
