High Power Alerting
If someone tries to call you in SAT mode, but
field strength is insufficient, the call cannot
be transmitted. Instead of this you will hear a
special ringing melody and the message
SAT Altering, Find Improved Reception
'
on the display and the High Power Alerting
symbol (#) is displayed:
SAT Alerting
Find Improved
Reception
Silent
In High Power Alerting mode a call cannot be
accepted unless the user moves to a better
place for SAT signal reception (see "Introduc-
tion"), it can only be rejected and the High
Power Alerting melody can be silenced.
The call, however, will remain active as long
as the caller doesn't end it.

'Rejecting' the call in this case means that the

tion any longer.
