Setting up the emergency key
When you press the transceiver begins a call to the station specified in the
Emergency 1 entry in the Address List. You can configure this entry to make any type of
call available to you. Emergency calls will trigger an emergency alert tone at the
receiving station. When AMD messaging is used in ALE calls, an emergency alert tone
is triggered by #HELP, #SOS, #MAYDAY, #PANPAN, and #EMERGENCY text. The
key can be set up to call one or more stations in an emergency.

Calling several stations in an emergency
If you want to set up the key to call several stations you can do so in two ways. You
can:

You should pre-set all the settings in the Emergency entries so that the call
is made automatically during an emergency without the transceiver
prompting for information.
