6-12 5100 ES Models II/III Portable Radio Operating Manual March 2008
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
1 If required, press the Emergency option switch or select that menu parameter. The radio
then automatically transmits the emergency alarm.
2 Either Normal or Silent operation can be programmed. With the Normal mode, the red
LED lights, the emergency tone sounds, and “EMERGENCY” flashes in the display.
This indication continues to flash until the alarm mode is ended (see Step 4). If silent
programmed or the Surveillance mode is selected (see
Section 4.8), none of these
indications occur. If “No Receive Activity During Emergency” is programmed, receive
audio, the front panel LED, and receive icons are disabled in the receive mode.
3 When the emergency alarm is acknowledged, “Ack Rcvd” is briefly displayed and the
emergency acknowledge tone (five beeps) sounds. Silent operation may also be
programmed in which case no tone sounds and there is no indication that an
acknowledgment occurred.
4 The radio continues to transmit this message until an acknowledgment is received or
the programmed number of attempts have been made. The emergency alarm mode is
exited when radio power is cycled or by pressing and holding the Emergency option
switch.
6.9.2 Emergency Group Alert
This feature notifies a user when an emergency call is being made on their selected P25
Conventional or P25 Trunking Talkgroup.
To program the feature in PC Configure, check the Emergency Call Alert box on the
second Per System page of each protocol (P25 Trunking and Conventional). The checkbox
is located in the “Other” group box. The radio should also be programmed with an
“Emergency Clear” button.
If an emergency call is received by the radio on the selected channel, the emergency alarm
ACK tone will sound (5 consecutive tones), and the Emergency Received message will
display, followed by the unit ID of the emergency radio. If any other emergency calls are
made after this initial one using a different radio, the tone will not sound, but the unit ID
will be updated to reflect the most recent emergency call. To exit out of this state, program
a button for “Emergency Clear” and press this. The radio should return to its normal
display, and the Emergency Received message should no longer show.
