Emergency Operation
Note:
If your radio is programmed for Silent or Silent
with Voice emergency initiation, in most cases
it automatically exits silent operation after the
Emergency Call or Emergency Alert is
finished. The exception to this rule is when
Emergency Alert is the configured Emergency
Mode and Silent is the configured Emergency
Type. If your radio is programmed in this
manner, the silent operation continues until
you cancel silent operation by pressing PTT or
the button configured for Emergency Off.
Emergency voice calls and Emergency Alerts
are not supported when operating in Connect
Plus Auto Fallback mode. For more
information see the
Auto Fallback on page 78.
An Emergency Alert is used to indicate a critical
situation. You can initiate an Emergency at any time,
in any state, even when there is activity on the current
channel. Pressing the Emergency button initiates the
programmed Emergency mode. The programmed
Emergency mode may also be initiated by triggering
the optional Man Down feature. The Emergency
feature may be disabled in your radio.
Your dealer can set the duration of a button press for
the programmed Emergency button, except for long
press, which is similar with all other buttons:
Short press Between 0.05 seconds and 0.75
seconds.
Long press Between 1.00 second and 3.75
seconds.
The Emergency button is assigned with the
Emergency On/Off feature. Check with your dealer for
the assigned operation of the Emergency button.

assigned to turn on the Emergency mode, then the
long press for the Emergency button is assigned

assigned to turn on the Emergency mode, then the
