SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES

• If five beeps sound, the status was received and acknowledged by the

dispatcher.

• If after 6 seconds, the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds

and “NO ACK” is displayed. Press and release the PTT switch to send

it again or press the Status option switch to exit this mode and return

to normal operation.

Emergency Alarm and Emergency Call

Emergency alarms and emergency calls are separate functions that

can be individually programmed on SMARTNET/SmartZone channels.

The

EMER option switch is also required to have these functions. An

emergency alarm is a special data transmission to alert your dispatcher of

an emergency situation, and an emergency call is an urgent request for

access to a voice channel. The emergency alarm and call are transmitted

on the programmed emergency talk group. Proceed as follows to initiate

an emergency alarm or call:

1. To transmit an emergency alarm, select a SMARTNET/SmartZone

channel that has that feature enabled and then press the

EMER option

switch.

2. The emergency alarm is then transmitted and “EMERGENCY” is

indicated in the display for a short time. Transmitting continues until an

acknowledgment is received (indicated by two beeps) or the

programmed number of attempts have occurred.

3. To transmit an emergency call, press the

EMER option switch with a

SMARTNET/SmartZone channel selected that has that feature enabled.

Then manually press the PTT switch and begin speaking as with a stan-

dard call. All calls that follow are then emergency calls and they occur

on the emergency talk group.

4. To exit the emergency mode, power must be turned off and then on

again.
