Instant Personal Alert
Instant Personal Alert (IPA) is a notification that you can send to a contact that is busy or unable to
reply to a group or private call.
When you received an IPA, your radio sounds a tone and displays an icon and the sender alias.
The IPA received is stored in the IPA Status List and allows you to view and reply at any time. When
multiple IPAs are received, the latest IPA will appear at the top of the list. The IPA Status List can store
up to nine alerts.
If you have a private call with the sender of the IPA, then the IPA is automatically cleared.
