Sending a Silent Emergency Alarm
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm to the
system without triggering any audio or visual indicators.
1 Press the preprogrammed Emergency button.
The display shows no changes, the LED does not
light up, and you hear no tones. The silent
emergency state continues until you perform the
next step.
2 Perform one of the following actions:
• Press and hold the preprogrammed Emergency
button for about a second to exit the Silent
Emergency Alarm mode.
• Press and release the PTT button to exit the
Silent Emergency Alarm mode and enter regular
dispatch or Emergency Call mode.
Change of Channels during Emergency
For ALL Emergency transmissions, when changing
channels:
• If the new channel is also preprogrammed for
Emergency, you can change channels while in
Emergency operation. The emergency alarm or call
continues on the new channel.
• If the new channel is not preprogrammed for
Emergency, the display shows No emergency, and you
hear an invalid tone until you exit the Emergency state
or change to a channel preprogrammed for Emergency.
Emergency Keep-Alive Feature
NOTICE:
The radio only exits the Emergency state using one
of the ways mentioned in the previous sections.
