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 MTM800E 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 MTM800E 
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.
