Sending an Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm
to a group of radios. The microphone of your radio is
automatically activated, allowing you to communicate
with the group of radios without pressing the PTT
button.
This activated microphone state is also known as “hot
mic”.
If you press the PTT button during the programmed
hot mic transmission period, the radio ignores the
PTT press and remains in Emergency mode.
Note:
If you press the PTT button during hot mic,
and continue to press it after the hot mic
duration expires, the radio continues to
transmit until you release the PTT button.
If your radio is set to Silent, it does not display any
audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode, or
allow any received calls to sound through the speaker
