Sending An Emergency Alarm and Call with Hot Mic
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm and Call with hot mic to a group of radios.
When and where to use: Your radio must be programmed for this type of operation.
Follow the procedure to send Emergency Alarms and Call with hot mic on your radio.
Procedure:
1 Press the preprogrammed Emergency button.
If successful, the display shows EMERGNCY on the current zone and channel. A tone sounds and
the LED blinks red momentarily.
The radio exits Emergency Alarm and enters the Emergency Call state when one of the
following scenarios occur:
• You receive the dispatcher acknowledgment. The display shows ACK RCVD.
• You receive no acknowledgment. The display shows NO ACK.
If unsuccessful, a tone sounds to indicate that the selected channel does not support emergency
and rejects to launch emergency mode.
2 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0 cm) from your mouth.
3 The microphone remains active for the hot mic time specified in your radio's codeplug
programming.
4 To exit Emergency Call, press and hold the preprogrammed Emergency button.
Turning off the radio also cancels the emergency state.
