Emergency
Alert
An Emergency Alert is not a voice
call. It is an emergency notification
that is sent to radios that are
configured to receive these alerts.
The radio sends an emergency alert
via the control channel of the
currently registered site. The
Emergency Alert is received by
radios in the Connect Plus network
that are programmed to receive
them (no matter which network site
they are registered to).
Only one of the Emergency Modes can be assigned
to the Emergency button per zone. In addition, each
Emergency mode has the following types:
Regular Radio initiates an Emergency and
shows audio and/or visual indicators.
Silent Radio initiates an Emergency without
any audio or visual indicators. The radio
suppresses all audio or visual
indications of the Emergency until you
press the PTT button to start a voice
transmission.
Silent
with
Voice
The same as Silent operation, except
that the radio also unmutes for some
voice transmissions.
Receiving an Incoming Emergency
Your radio may be programmed to sound an alert
tone and also display information about the incoming
Emergency. If so programmed, upon receiving the
incoming Emergency, the display shows the
Emergency Details screen with the emergency icon,
the Alias or ID of the radio that requested the
Emergency, the Group Contact being used for the
Emergency, and one additional line of information.
The additional information is the name of the zone
that contains the Group Contact.
At the present time, the radio displays only the most
recently decoded Emergency. If a new Emergency is
received before the prior Emergency is cleared, the
details for the new Emergency replace the details of
the previous Emergency.
Depending on how your radio has been programmed,
the Emergency Details screen (or Alarm List screen)
will stay on your radio’s display even after the
Emergency ends. You can save the emergency
details to the Alarm List, or you can delete the
