When your radio is selected to a Connect Plus zone, it
supports three Emergency modes:
Emergency Call
You must press the PTT button to talk on the assigned
emergency time slot.
Emergency Call with Voice to Follow
For the first transmission on the assigned emergency
time slot, the microphone is automatically unmuted and
you may talk without pressing the PTT button. The
microphone stays “hot” in this fashion for a time period
programmed into the radio. For subsequent
transmissions in the same Emergency call, you must
press the PTT button.
Emergency Alert
An Emergency Alert is not a voice call. It is an
emergency notification that is sent to radios that are
configured to receive these alerts. The radio sends an
emergency alert by using the control channel of the
currently registered site. The Emergency Alert is
received by radios in the Connect Plus network that are
programmed to receive them (no matter which network
site they are registered to).
Only one of the Emergency Modes can be assigned to the
Emergency button per zone. In addition, each Emergency
mode has the following types:
Regular
Radio initiates an Emergency and shows audio and/or
