Emergency Operation
The Emergency feature is used to indicate a critical situation.
If the Orange button is preprogrammed to send an emergency
signal, this signal overrides any other communication over the
selected channel.
Your radio supports 5 Emergency modes:
• Emergency Call
• Emergency Alarm
• Emergency Alarm with Call
• Silent Emergency Alarm
• Special Considerations for Emergencies
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more
information on the programming of this feature.
Only one of the Emergency modes above can be assigned to
the preprogrammed Emergency button or the Emergency
footswitch.
Note: To exit emergency at any time, press and hold the
preprogrammed Emergency button for about a
second.
Sending an Emergency Alarm
This feature allows you to send a data transmission, which
identifies the radio sending the emergency, to the dispatcher.
Procedure:

follows.

received by the trunked system’s central controller.

return to normal operation.
