Conventional Digital and Trunking Channels
The BKR5000 portable radio supports P25 Emergency Operation.
When Emergency Operation is engaged the radio will transmit the P25
ID of the radio along with the required P25 Emergency bit. Emergency
operation applies only to channels programmed for Digital or Mixed
Mode transmissions.
On channels programmed for analog or Mixe Mode transmissions, and
not programmed for MDC Emergency Operation, the radio will not enter
Emergency Mode.
The radio will enter Emergency Mode when programmed for analog
operation, if it is also properly programmed with the correct MDC
settings.
All scanning and priority functions will be disabled during Emergency
operation.
Depending on the radio’s PC programmable settings, emergency signal
will be sent automatically or with each Push-to-Talk.
Placing an Emergency Call
To place an emergency call, press and hold the
programmed emergency button until the radio
beeps and the display ashes “EMERGENCY”.
Radio automatically sends the emergency
signal on the pre-programmed emergency
channel.
To return to normal operation press and hold
the Emergency button or cycle radio power.
Receiving an Emergency Signal
To receive an emergency call, the radio’s
receive mode must be programmed to Digital or
Mixed.
When receiving a qualied emergency call, the
radio will beep. The display will ash the word “EMERGENCY” along
with the P25 ID of the radio sending the signal, for the duration of the
reception, as well as during any hold time. The RXD icon will also be lit.
