What is an Instant Personal Alert?
The instant personal alert (IPA) feature allows a user
to send an alert to an individual EPTT contact, and
request them to call the sender.
• You can send an IPA only to EPTT contacts in
Available or Do Not Disturb state.
• An IPA can be initiated only to a single contact
and cannot be sent to a group.
• You cannot send an IPA if you are in Do Not
Disturb state. This is because the receiver will
not be able to call you back. Users can send
the IPA from options > Send alert.
How do I send an Instant Personal Alert?
Highlight a contact either in the EPTT call history
screen or from the EPTT Contacts screen or in the
favorite contacts screen and press the Alert soft key
to send IPA.
How do I respond to an Instant Personal Alert?
When you receive an Instant Personal Alert,
press and hold the EPTT button to place a EPTT
call. Press the Green key (Call button) to initiate a
GSM call to that number. Press the Dismiss key to
discard the alert.
How can we respond to an incoming instant personal
alert, when the keypad is locked?
You can call back to the incoming instant personal
alert by pressing the EPTT hard key or by tapping on
the Call soft button in the notication alert. You can
reject by tapping on the Cancel soft button in the
alert screen.
You cannot initiate a GSM call from a received MCA/
IPA when the phone keypad is locked.
