from the Home screen or choose it from Contacts or the recent call list.

Depending on how you enter the number, do one of the following:
• Select Alert.

Alert/Join.
Ready to Alert appears on the display.

Press the Walkie-Talkie button until Alert Successful appears on the display.

is on a call or has their phone turned off.
