Emergency Operation
The Emergency feature is used to indicate a critical situation. An emergency signal overrides any other
communication over the selected channel.
Your radio supports the following Emergency modes:
• Emergency Alarm
• Emergency Call
• Emergency Alarm with Emergency Call
• Silent Emergency Alarm
Only one Emergency mode can be assigned to the Emergency button.
Your radio is also programmed to operate in one of the following conditions:
Tactical/Non-Revert
The radio sends an emergency alarm and/or makes an emergency call on the current channel.
Non-Tactical/Revert for Conventional System
The radio reverts to the preprogrammed emergency channel to send an alarm and/or make an
emergency call.
Non-Tactical/Revert for Trunking System
The radio reverts to the preprogrammed emergency talkgroup (trunking system) or channel
(conventional system) to send an alarm and/or make an emergency call.
Man Down is an alternate way to activate the Emergency feature. For more information, see Man
Down on page 52.
Contact your system administrator for more information.

Special Considerations for Emergency Operation

Table 2: Emergency Operation Scenarios

If you change to a channel/mode with no Emer-
gency capability while in Emergency operation,
the following occurs:
• The display shows NO EMERG.
• A continuous low-pitched tone sounds until
you select a valid Emergency channel/mode
or until you disable the Emergency opera-
tion.
