    You're in a group, or not, but you want to pickup a call from another group: SPRE+94+# / press GPU key + #

  3. DN pickup: DPUA
    You're in a group, or not, but you want to pickup a call from a ringing DN: SPRE+95+<DN> / press DPU key + DN

Sets are added individually to a Pickup Group (RNPG).
