Call Alerts
Sending a call alert lets the recipient know you
want to talk to him or her on a Walkie-Talkie call.
When you send a call alert, the recipient’s phone
displays your name. The recipient’s phone emits a
series of beeps and the Walkie-Talkie button
backlight flashes slowly, or the phone vibrates.
The recipient can:
•
Answer — begin a Walkie-Talkie 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
Note:
Call alerts are not available for Group
Walkie-Talkie or Talkgroup calls.
