Emergency Alert – An Emergency Alert is not a
voice call. It is an emergency notification that is
sent to radios that are configured to receive these
alerts. The radio sends an emergency alert via the
control channel of the currently registered site.
The Emergency Alert is received by radios in the
Connect Plus network that are programmed to
receive them (no matter which network site they
are registered to).
Only ONE of the Emergency Modes can be assigned
to the Emergency button per zone. In addition, each
Emergency mode has the following types:
Regular – Radio initiates an Emergency and
shows audio and/or visual indicators.
Silent – Radio initiates an Emergency without any
audio or visual indicators. The radio will suppress
all audio or visual indications of the Emergency
until you press the PTT button to start a voice
transmission.
Silent with Voice – The same as Silent operation,
except that the radio will also unmute for some
voice transmissions.
Receiving an Incoming Emergency
Your radio may be programmed to sound an alert
tone and also display information about the incoming
Emergency. If so programmed, upon receiving the
incoming Emergency, the display shows the
Emergency Details screen with the emergency icon,
the Alias or ID of the radio that requested the
Emergency, the Group Contact being used for the
Emergency, and one additional line of information.
The additional information is the name of the zone
that contains the Group Contact.
At the present time, the radio displays only the most
recently decoded Emergency. If a new Emergency is
received before the prior Emergency is cleared, the
details for the new Emergency replace the details of
the previous Emergency.
Depending on how your radio has been programmed,
the Emergency Details screen (or Alarm List screen)
will stay on your radio’s display even after the
Emergency ends. You can save the emergency
details to the Alarm List, or you can delete the
emergency details as described in the following
sections.
