Abstract
A method for an RF base station (105) to transmit an emergency message to a selective call receiver (104). The base station (105) receives incoming messages that are to be transmitted to selective call receivers, some of which incoming messages are emergency messages that include an emergency code, such as "911". The base station (105) creates a shortened emergency message by removing the emergency code from an incoming emergency message, and sends the shortened emergency message to a selective call receiver (104), along with an alert instruction for actuating a priority alert in the selective call receiver (104).
