Sending an Emergency Call
These steps explain the sending of a trunked emergency alarm with
call. When sending a trunked emergency call only (not available for
conventional emergency), an emergency alarm is not automatically
sent to the dispatcher.
1 Press the orange button (T1).
EMERGNCY and the zone and mode are
alternately displayed, and a short,
medium-pitched emergency tone
sounds.
The emergency alarm is automatically
sent to the dispatcher.
2 Press the PTT button and announce your emergency.
The emergency alarm ends and the radio enters the emergency
call mode. The radio operates in the normal dispatch manner
while in emergency call operation.
3 To exit the emergency call mode, press the orange emergency
button (T1) for more than 1-1/2 seconds (programmable).
A medium-pitched exit tone sounds until you release T1. The
radio returns to normal operation.
