6.9 Emergency Alarm and Call
Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate functions that can be individually enabled or
disabled on each SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked system. The Emergency
option switch is required for these functions. Other emergency features are as follows:
• Emergency Alarms are transmitted on the selected talk group if emergency calls are
disabled, and on the emergency talk group if emergency calls are enabled.
• Emergency Call talk group selection priority is as follows. For example, if a global
emergency channel is not programmed, the emergency talk group of the selected
channel is used and so on.
a Global (radio wide) emergency channel
b Emergency group of the selected channel
c Talk group of the selected channel
d Announcement group of the selected channel
• The emergency programming of the system to which that emergency talk group is
linked controls the emergency operation.
6.9.1 Emergency Alarms
An emergency alarm is a special transmission that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency
situation. It is sent automatically by simply pressing Emergency option switch. The system
to which the emergency channel is linked must have Emergency Alarms enabled. If not,
Emergency Alarms are disabled. The alarm is sent on the control channel using Motorola
proprietary signaling.
Proceed as follows to send an emergency alarm:
1 If required, select a channel of a system on which Emergency Alarms are enabled and
then press the EMER option switch. 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 “EMERGNCY” 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 4.9), 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 (two beeps) sounds. Silent operation may also be
programmed in which case no tone sounds and there is no indication that an
acknowledgment occurred.
