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 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
Sending Call Alerts
1 Enter the Private ID you want to send to, as you
would when making a Private call.
2 Press A 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, 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
Private calls until you do.
To answer a call alert, press the PTT button to
make a Private call to the sender.
To queue a call alert, press A under Queue.
To clear a call alert, press A under Clear.
Note: The recent calls list also stores call alerts
you have received. They appear as Private
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 Private call to the
sender or delete it.
Viewing Call Alerts
1 From the main menu, select Call Alert.
2 Scroll through the list.
