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 your radio has Emergency Cycle Mode enabled, repetitions of
hot mic and receiving period are made for a programmed
duration.
NOTE: During Emergency Cycle Mode, received calls sound
through the radio’s speaker.
If you press the PTT button during the programmed receiving
period, you will hear a prohibit tone, indicating that you should
release the PTT button. 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.
