count me as someone who didn’t know that simply checking your schedule in the NC window switched you back to promptly available. I thought you had to call scheduling to get released from the immediately available after 2 hours requirement.

Additional important nuance is that it's an official schedule check, which MiCrew is NOT. Calling the VRU and acknowledging, or checking (and entering your PIN as applicable) on iCrew are official ways to check and/or acknowledge your schedule.
Best technique IMO is to check your schedule in iCrew and screenshot it. Your screenshot will contain the timestamp that you checked your schedule in the upper-right.

Bottom of SRH pg 84/top of SRH pg 85.

You should check your schedule one minute into SC and you can't report until 2:01 after call begins

Here is the key to when to end your non-contactable status:
Do it at the point where you can still make it to the airport by 2:00 into your SC window.
Live 10 minutes from the airport? Check your schedule at the 1:50 mark (well, minus whatever prep time you need).
45 minute2 away? Check at the 1:15 mark.
2:30 away? Check your schedule 30 minutes prior to SC starting. If you have a rotation, go to the aiport. If you don't yet have an assignment then call scheduling at that point to remove the NC. The benefit of this is you were still "blocked" from being assigned an early report from the time they assign the SC until that 30 minutes prior period. Plus then if they do give you an illegal report earlier than two hour mark you can just do it and get the extra pay later.

Nothing about the 2-hour NC provision changes anything about "promptly available" once a schedule check has been made.
"Promptly available" remains as it always has been. Reasonable yet undefined.

Correct. I know we shouldn't reference the "2 hour rule" but it's easier to understand than differentiating immediately available vs promptly
