Using Call Alerts
Call Alerts let you notify someone that you want to 
communicate with them using Direct Connect. When a 
user receives a Call Alert, pressing the Direct Connect 
button places a Direct Connect call directly to the 
sender.
 
To send a Call Alert:
1.
Enter a Direct Connect number or select a number 
from History or Contacts.
2.
Press
Msg/Alert
(left softkey) and select
Call Alert
.
(A prompt is displayed.)
3.
Press and release the Direct Connect button. (The 
recipient’s phone will emit an incoming tone and 
display an alert.)
Preset Text Feature With Call Alert
From the Call Alert prompt (see step 2 above), you may 
attach a brief preset text message. 
ᮣ
Press the navigation key right or left from the 
prompt to scroll through available messages. 
When the desired message is displayed, proceed 
to step 3 above.
Note
Call Alerts continue to repeat for a set amount of 
time (default is five minutes) or until the recipient 
returns the call or dismisses the alert. The default Call 
Alert time can be adjusted in the 
Settings > Direct
Connect > Call Alerts > Repetition
menu.
Note
When sending a Call Alert, make sure you select the 
Direct Connect number for the person you are trying 
to reach. See “To tell if a number is a valid Direct 
Connect number:” on page 42.
Tip
If you get an error message saying that your contact 
“is not reachable via Direct Connect” or “this number 
is not DC capable,” please check to see that you 
have highlighted a valid Direct Connect number. See 
“To tell if a number is a valid Direct Connect number:” 
on page 42.
