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.
