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

1Enter the Direct Connect number you want to send to, as you would when making a Direct Connect call.

2Press A under Alert. Ready to Alert appears on the display.

3Press 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.

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.
