NOTICE:
To exit emergency at any time, press and hold the
preprogrammed Emergency button for about a
second. This timer is programmable from 0–6250
milliseconds by a qualified technician.
The radio operates in the normal dispatch manner
while in Emergency Call, except if enabled, it
returns to one of the following:
Tactical/Non-Revert
The radio sends emergency alarm and/or make
emergency call on the current selected channel.
Non-Tactical/Revert for Conventional system
The radio reverts to the preprogrammed
emergency channel to send alarm and/or make
emergency call.
Non-Tactical/Revert for Trunking system
The radio reverts to the preprogrammed
emergency talkgroup to send alarm and/or make
emergency call.
Sending an Emergency Alarm
This feature allows you to send a data transmission, which
identifies the radio sending the emergency, to the
dispatcher.
NOTICE:
The default timer of Emergency button press to
activate Emergency is 300 milliseconds. This timer
is programmable from 300–6200 milliseconds by a
qualified technician.
Press the preprogrammed Emergency button.
One of the following scenarios occurs:
• The display shows Emergency and the current
zone or channel. You hear a short medium-
pitched tone and the LED blinks red momentarily.
• The radio sounds a short low-pitched tone to
indicate that the selected channel does not
support emergency and rejects to launch
emergency mode. The display shows No
emergency, if the selected channel does not
support emergency.
When you receive the dispatcher’s acknowledgment, the
display shows Ack received. Four tones sound, the alarm
ends, and the radio exits the Emergency Alarm mode.
If no acknowledgement is received, the display shows No
acknowledge. The alarm ends when the timer expires and
the radio exits the Emergency Alarm mode.
