Common Radio Features
The radio operates in the normal dispatch manner while in
Emergency Call, except, if enabled, it will return to one of the
following:
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, an
invalid tone sounds until you exit the Emergency state or
change to a channel programmed for emergency.
3 Release the PTT button to
end the transmission and
wait for a response from the
dispatcher.
4 Press and hold the
Emergency button for about
a second to exit emergency.
Using this operation: means you will talk...
1. Tactical/Non-Revert on the channel you
selected before you
entered the emergency
state.
2. Non-Tactical/Revert on a preprogrammed
emergency channel. The
emergency alarm is sent
to this same channel.
