Using the MC9097 Phone 5 - 11
Sending 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 emits a series of beeps or vibrations. The phone displays your name or
walkie-talkie number.
The recipient can:
• answer the call to begin a walkie-talkie call with the sender
• queue the call to store the call alert to the call alert queue, which is a list of call alerts
• clear the call to dismiss and delete the call alert.
To send a call alert:
1. Tap Start > Phone or press the green dot key on the mobile computer’s keypad.
Figure 5-15 Phone Keypad
2. Enter the walkie-talkie number to call.
3. Tap Alert. The Ready to Alert dialog box appears.
Figure 5-16 Ready To Alert Dialog Box
4. Press the walkie-talkie button on the left side of the mobile computer until the Alert Successful dialog box
appears.
If the alert is not successful, the person you are trying to reach is on a call or has their phone turned off.
