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

alert queue until you make a Direct Connect call to
the sender or delete it.
