Abstract: A system, method, and apparatus for receiving notifications from a notifying device, and alerting a user as to the notification are provided. Embodiments of the present invention include a connectivity transceiver, and a notifying device transceiver positioned within a signal distance of a signal transmitted by the connectivity transceiver, wherein the connectivity controller is configured to set the signal distance to a reduced signal distance upon initiating a pairing operation with the notifying device transceiver. Further, the connectivity transceiver may be communicably coupled to a system controller that adjusts an interval duty cycle of inquiry scans and page scans based on a connection with the notifying device transceiver.
