Field Definitions
Silent Alarm This feature is not compatible with Emergency Receive. To enable Silent
Alarm, make sure Emergency Receive is disabled on the RADIO WIDE
DISPLAY OPTIONS screen (F4/F3/F6). Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to
enable/disable this feature. If this feature is enabled, the radio will
operate silently when transmitting an emergency signal. No audible or
visual indication of the transmission will occur.
Emergency operation must be enabled on the MDC SYSTEMS screen
(F4/F6/F4/F3) and/or the TRUNKING PERSONALITY EMERGENCY
OPTIONS screen (F4/F4/F4/F8) and/or the ASTRO SYSTEM screen (F4/
F6/F5/F3). In addition, the Emergency button must be configured on
the RADIO WIDE BUTTON CONFIGURATION screen (F4/F3/F3/F2).
Note: The Silent Alarm feature is NOT compatible with Emergency
Receive (F4/F3/F6). To enable Silent Alarm, make sure Emergency
Receive is disabled.
Channel Delay (sec) Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Emergency Channel Delay
or enter a value directly. The radio must be on a channel for the time
specified here before it can transmit an emergency signal. For
Emergency operation, this delay is sometimes desired to prevent the
radio from sending an emergency signal on an undesired channel
(which may occur while the user is changing channels and pressing
the Emergency button). The valid range of values is 0 (zero) to 7
seconds.
Keep Alive This field will be visible for Portables only. If this field is enabled, the radio
will remain powered-on during an Emergency transmission regardless
of the position of the power switch.
