If normal alarm operation is selected, the display will flash emergency
and valid key chirp will be heard when the alarm condition is entered.
Four full beeps will be heard when the alarm condition is
acknowledged.
If silent alarm is selected, there will be no display or audible indication
when the alarm condition is entered. Nor will there be any indication
of alarm acknowledgment. In addition, the radio will mute the
receiver audio so that no radio traffic is heard. This feature is one of the
necessary components for Hot Mic Emergency to function properly.
Console Acknowledgment
Required
This field will be visible only if the Emergency Alarm field is set to Enabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. If a
Console Acknowledge is required, an Emergency Alarm is not
considered successful unless a Dispatcher Acknowledge is received.
When an Emergency Alarm is not successful, the full four-beep
Acknowledge Tone is not sounded and the alarm is automatically sent
again until the number of retries specified is exhausted.
Retry Counter Emergency Alarm must be enabled for this field to be visible. Use the UP/
DOWN arrow keys to select the number of Emergency transmissions
to retry should the initial transmission fail. If an unlimited number of
retries is desired, select 0 (that is, Infinite). Otherwise, enter a value
between 1 and 255.
Normally if the radio is unsuccessful in sending a transmission, it will
retry for one ISW sequence before quitting. For Emergency Alarms,
however, the radio will retry for the number of ISW sequences
specified by the Retry Counter.
Tactical Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable (Tactical) or disable (Non-
Tactical) this emergency option. If this field is set to Enabled,
Emergency Alarms and Calls are made on the selected talkgroup/
subfleet unless:
❒ Announcement Group/Fleet is selected; or
❒ Dynamic Regrouping Talkgroup/Subfleet is selected and there is no
valid dynamic ID, in which case the default Talkgroup/Subfleet is
used.
If this field is set to Disabled, the radio uses the default Talkgroup and
default Announcement group for emergency transmissions.
Revert PTT-ID Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the default
Emergency PTT-ID option. If this feature is enabled, the default
Talkgroup/Subfleet or Announcement Group/Fleet-wide transmissions
will be in PTT-ID style.
Revert Size Code Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to choose the Size Code for this
personality. Valid Size Codes are: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M, O and
Q. The Size Code determines the maximum number of fleets, subfleets
and individual IDs allowed.
Note: The Size Code and Fleet ID chosen must match the
programming of the Central Controller.
