Send an Emergency Call
Note: For Emergency Alarm with Emergency Call: The radio enters
the Emergency Call state either after it receives the
dispatcher’s acknowledgment, or if you press the PTT button
while in Emergency Alarm. Go to step 2 of “For ALL
Emergency signals:”.
This type of dispatch gives your radio priority access on a channel.
The radio operates in the normal dispatch manner while in
Emergency Call, except, if enabled, it will return to one of the
following:
• Tactical/Non-Revert — You talk on the channel you selected
before you entered the emergency state.
• Non-Tactical/Revert — You talk on a preprogrammed emergency
channel. The emergency alarm is sent to this same channel.

press the Emergency
button.
Note: To exit emergency at any time, press and hold the
Emergency button.

dispatcher’s acknowledge,
press and hold the PTT
button and announce your
emergency into the
microphone. This sends the
emergency call.

end the current call.
