Common Radio Features
Note: • For ALL Emergency signals: You can change channels
while in Emergency operation if the new channel is also
programmed for Emergency. The emergency alarm or call
continues on the new channel.
• If the new channel is NOT programmed for Emergency, you
see NO EMERGENCY, and hear an invalid tone until you exit
the Emergency state or change to a channel programmed
for emergency.

enabled, you cannot turn off the radio by using the On/Off Control
knob.
With Keep-Alive, the radio will only exit the Emergency state using
one of the ways mentioned in the previous sections (Emergency
Alarm, Silent Emergency Alarm, or Emergency Call).
Note: To exit emergency at any time, press and hold the
Emergency button for about a second.

continues until you press and
hold the Emergency button
for about a second to exit the
emergency state.

button to exit silent
emergency. The silent alarm
is cancelled without an exit
tone, and you can begin
transmitting voice calls.
