Sending an Emergency Alarm with Voice to
Follow
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm to a group
of radios. Your radio’s microphone is automatically activated,
allowing you to communicate with the group of radios without
pressing the PTT button.
This activated microphone state is also known as “hot mic”.
If you press the PTT button during the programmed hot mic
transmission period, the radio ignores the PTT press and
remains in Emergency mode.
NOTE: If you press the PTT button during hot mic, and
continue to press it after the hot mic duration expires,
the radio continues to transmit until you release the
PTT button.
Procedure:
1 Press the programmed Emergency On button or the
Emergency footswitch.
2 The display shows Tx Alarm and the destination alias. The
green LED lights up and the Emergency icon appears.
OR
The display shows Tx Telegram and the destination
alias. The LED lights up solid green and the Emergency icon
appears.
3 Once the display shows Alarm Sent, speak clearly into the
microphone. When hot mic has been enabled, the radio
automatically transmits without a PTT press until the hot mic
duration expires.
4 While transmitting, the green LED lights up and the
Emergency icon appears.
5 Once the hot mic duration expires, the radio automatically
stops transmitting. To transmit again, press the PTT button.
6 Press Emergency Off button to exit the Emergency mode.
7 The radio returns to the Home screen.
If your radio is set to Silent, it does not display any audio or
visual indicators during Emergency mode, or allow any received
calls to sound through the radio’s speaker, until the
programmed hot mic transmission period is over, and you press
the PTT button.
If your radio is set to Silent with Voice, it does not display any
audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode when you
are making the call with hot mic, but allow sound through the
radio’s speaker when the target radio responds after the
programmed hot mic transmission period is over. The indicators
only appear when you press the PTT button.
NOTE: If the Emergency Alarm request fails, the radio does
not retry to send the request, and enters the hot mic
state directly.
