Turn It Off

Hey all,
Was looking at RT fail procedures but am after clarification on one part.
The Book (mats 1) states that if an a/c is told delay not determined and subsequently has an RT fail, they are to divert to alternate or nearest suitable aerodrome (which barring a further emergency is surely the 1st alternate?)
When should the aircraft divert?
1 - After reaching the holding facility?
2 - Immediately the driver selects Mode A7600?
3 - Continue as cleared for 7 minutes after selecting A7600 then route direct alternate?
Any other offers apart from the three above gratefully accepted!
Regards
TIO
