General Radio Operations: 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.

NOTE: Only Private Contacts can be alerted.

1. Highlight the Private Name/ID in Contacts or Recent Calls..

2. Press  

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, the radio you are trying to reach is either in a call, on another 

channel, has the radio turned off, or is out of range.

When you receive a call alert, you must answer or clear it. You cannot make new calls until you do.

To answer a call alert, press the PTT button to respond to the sender. To clear a call alert, press 

 under Clear.
