VibrAlert® is a feature that allows you send a signal to other radios on the same frequency as you and cause them to vibrate if they also have the VibrAlert® feature present and active on their radios. This functions similar to the Call alert signal and will still send the Call alert signal along with it. It is not possible to send only the vibration alone.
Before you use VibrAlert®
Please make sure all these conditions are met before you begin using VibrAlert®.
- Both radios must have the VibrAlert® feature.
- Both radios must be on the same channel (frequency).
- Both radios must NOT be using a Privacy Code.

The receiving radio does not have VibrAlert®.
If the receiving radio does not have VibrAlert® but does have the Call feature, it will still receive the Call signal and make its Call tone.
The sending radio does not have VibrAlert®, but the receiving one does have VibrAlert®.
The sending radio can still use its Call feature, if available, and the VibrAlert® radio will receive it as a Call but will not activate its VibrAlert® feature.
Both radios have VibrAlert® but one is not vibrating when the other is sending a VibrAlert®.
Check that both radios are on the same frequency, and that neither one uses a Privacy Code. VibrAlert® does not work with Privacy Codes.
Can I use VibrAlert® without also using the Call feature?
No, VibrAlert® also sends the Call signal to allow all radios not possessing VibrAlert® to still be notified.
