Your radio supports the following Emergency modes:
• Emergency Alarm

information on the programming of this feature.
Only one of the Emergency modes above can be assigned to
the preprogrammed Emergency button.

preprogrammed Emergency button for about a
second.

selected channel.

The radio reverts to the preprogrammed emergency
channel to send alarm and/or make emergency call.
