Call Alerts
Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you want to talk to him or her on a Private call.
When you send a call alert, the recipient’s phone emits a series of beeps, or vibrates, and displays your name or Private ID.
The recipient can:
•Answer — begin a Private 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

3Press the PTT button until Alert Successful appears on the display.
Note: If the alert is not successful, the person you are trying to reach is on a call or has the phone turned off.
