Emergency Alert Mode
The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal members in your group of
your need for urgent help. RX680 series radios will operate in an automatic
“hands-free” emergency control mode for a total of 30 seconds after activating
the Emergency Alert. RX680 series radios in your group will automatically
advance the speaker volume to the maximum setting and sound a warbling
alert tone for 8 seconds. The alert tone is emitted from your own radio speaker
and the receiving radios in your group. After the 8 seconds alert, any spoken
words or incidental sounds at your end will be transmitted to the group for 22
seconds. For the 30 seconds duration of Emergency Alert mode, RX680 series
radio controls and buttons will be locked to maximize reception of the
emergency message.
1. Press and hold the Emergency Alert button for 3
seconds.
2. Release the button after the LCD backlight ashes and
the alert tone begins to sound. There is no need to
continue to hold the Emergency Alert button or use
PTT for your message to be transmitted.
3. After the alert tone ends you may speak into the
microphone. Your voice or incidental sounds will be
transmitted. The LCD backlight will continue to ash for
the duration of the 22 seconds period.
4. After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk
Conrmation Tone and the LCD backlight will stop
ash. Operation then returns to normal two-way mode.
