Emergency Call
To activate, use the external user-supplied emergency switch (radio must be
programmed). The radio initiates and continues in an emergency call state
until the emergency call is deactivated.
To deactivate, press and hold the external user-supplied emergency switch
(radio must be programmed) until the radio beeps, or power off the radio with
the power-volume knob.
For information about setting the emergency switch to normal or silent, refer
to the Radio Settings section.
Selecting Encryption
Selection of encrypted or plain mode is automatic since channels are
programmed for plain or encrypted mode. If you attempt to reprogram the
radio from encrypted to plain, the radio generates an alert tone when
PTT is
pressed for an encrypted channel. For more information, refer to the Radio
Settings section.
Transmitting
Press the
PTT button and speak at a normal level about 4 inches from the
microphone. Release the
PTT button when finished speaking. Do not hold
the
PTT longer than necessary after talking. Channels programmed for receive-
only operation sound an alert tone, display
RX ONLY, and do not transmit.
Zeroizing Encryption Buttons
Use the external user-supplied emergency switch to zeroize (radio must be
programmed) the encryption buttons. Selective zeroization is performed using
the programming (
PROGRM) menu, if enabled. For additional zeroizing
information, refer to the Radio Settings section.
