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
197.
An Emergency Alert is used to indicate a critical
situation. You can initiate an Emergency at any time
on any screen display, 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.
If the short press for the Emergency button is
assigned to turn on the Emergency mode, then the
long press for the Emergency button is assigned
to exit the Emergency mode.
If the long press for the Emergency button is
assigned to turn on the Emergency mode, then the
short press for the Emergency button is assigned
to exit the Emergency mode.
When your radio is selected to a Connect Plus zone,
it supports three Emergency modes:
Emergency
Call
You must press the PTT button to
talk on the assigned emergency time
slot.
Emergency
Call with
Voice to
Follow
For the first transmission on the
assigned emergency time slot, the
microphone is automatically
unmuted and you may talk without
pressing the PTT button. The
microphone stays “hot” in this
fashion for a time period
programmed into the radio. For
subsequent transmissions in the
same Emergency call, you must
press the PTT button.
