Call Alerts

Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you want to talk to him or her. When you send a call alert,
the recipient's radio emits a series of beeps, or vibrates, and displays your Unit Name or ID along
with the time and date.
The recipient can:
• Answer – begin a call by pressing the PTT button.
• Clear – delete the call alert.

Sending Call Alerts

NOTE: Only Private Contacts can be alerted.
1. Highlight the Private Name/ID in Contacts or Recent Calls..
2. Press
3. Press the PTT button until "Alert Successful" appears on the display.
NOTE: If the alert is not successful, the radio you are trying to reach is either in a call, on another
channel, has the radio turned off, or is out of range.

Receiving a Call Alert

When you receive a call alert, you must answer or clear it. You cannot make new calls until you do.
To answer a call alert, press the PTT button to respond to the sender. To clear a call alert, press
