Call Modification is a feature that allows your service provider to modify the call to optimize it and
adjust to a current situation.
Modification can cover:
• Call priority - modified during call setup.

• Call encryption - modified during an ongoing call, but not in the transmission phase.
When the call is modified, your radio displays Call Modified message.
When a recently modified call requires the PTT button to transmit, your radio displays Call
Modified Use PTT.
All modifications are made by your service provider and the radio only follows them. You have no
influence on ongoing call modifications.
When call priority is changed to emergency:
• The display indicates that an Emergency Group Call has been received.
• The radio plays a special audio alert.
NOTICE: If a Group Call is modified into an Emergency Group Call, no emergency-related
features are triggered.
