Call Alert Paging
This feature allows your radio to work like a pager.
Even if other users are away from their radios, or if they are
unable to hear their radios, you can send them an individual
Call Alert page. You can also verify if a radio is active on the
system.
Depending on how your radio is programmed, when you make
an Enhanced Private Call, the radio either automatically sends
a call alert page if there is no answer after the maximum ring
time, OR when you press the PTT button.
Note: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified
radio technician.
Receiving a Call Alert Page
Procedure:
1 When you receive a Call Alert page, you hear four repeating
alert tones and the LED blinks green.
2 The display shows Page received.
Press any button to clear the Call Alert page. See Making a
Talkgroup Call on page 41 or Making a Private Call
(Trunking Only) on page 41 for more information on returning
the call.
Sending a Call Alert Page
Note: The radio automatically exits the feature, if the feature
inactivity timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle
and the timer expires. You will hear the Menu Inactive
Exit Tone upon feature exit.

Alert Paging button to send a page to the preprogrammed ID
