Call Alerts

Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you
want to talk to him or her on a Direct Connect call.

When you send a call alert, the recipient’s phone
emits a series of beeps, or vibrates, and displays
your name or Direct Connect number.

The recipient can:

Answer — begin a Direct Connect call with the

sender

Queue — store the call alert to the call alert

queue, which is a list of call alerts

Clear — dismiss and delete the call alert

Sending Call Alerts

1 Enter the Direct Connect number you want to

send to, as you would when making a Direct
Connect call.

2 Press

A

under Alert. Ready to Alert appears

on the display.

3 Press the PTT button until Alert Successful

appears on the display.

Note: If the alert is not successful, this may

mean the person you are trying to reach is
on a call or has the phone turned off.

Receiving Call Alerts

When you receive a call alert, you must answer,
queue, or clear it. You cannot receive phone calls
or Direct Connect calls until you do.

To answer a call alert, press the PTT button to
make a Direct Connect call to the sender.

To queue a call alert, press

A

under Queue.

To clear a call alert, press

A

under Clear.

Note: The recent calls list also stores call alerts

you have received. They appear as Direct
Connect calls. Call alerts remain in your
recent calls list until you delete them or
until they reach the end of the list.

Using the Call Alert Queue

When you queue a call alert, it remains in the call
alert queue until you make a Direct Connect call to
the sender or delete it.

Viewing Call Alerts

1 From the main menu, select Call Alert.
2 Scroll through the list.
