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.
