Emergency Type This field will be visible only if the Emergency field has been set to Enabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to choose one of the following settings:
Both types of emergency support reverting (transmitting emergency
on a predetermined channel).
Acknowledge Alert Tone Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. If this
feature is enabled, an emergency acknowledge beep will sound when
the radio receives acknowledgment of its emergency call.
Revert Channel Table The Emergency Revert Channel table contains the channels (pointed
to in the Conventional personalities) to which the radio reverts when
entering Emergency call mode. Enter the zone numbers and the
channel numbers in the table. Each ASTRO personality will select one
of these channels or choose itself.
First, create the necessary personalities. Then go to the ZONE/
CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT screen (F4/F8) and enter channel
information. You will then be able to set the ASTRO emergency
channels.
Note: Emergency revert channels cannot have Quik-Call II enabled on
them, nor can they be Receive Only channels.
