seconds by a qualified technician.
Procedure:
1 Press and hold the preprogrammed Emergency button.
2 The display shows EMERGNCY and the current zone or
channel. A short, medium-pitched tone sounds and the
LED blinks red momentarily.
OR
An invalid tone sounds, if the selected channel does not
support emergency.
3 When you receive your dispatcher’s acknowledgment, the
display shows ACK RCVD. Four tones sound, the alarm
ends, and your radio exits the Emergency Alarm mode.

If no acknowledgement is received, the display shows
NO ACK. The alarm ends and your radio exits the
Emergency Alarm mode.

preprogrammed emergency channel. The
emergency alarm is sent on this same channel.
Procedure:
