General Radio Features
Initiate an Emergency Call and Alarm
If the radio has both emergency call and alarm features, it
automatically proceeds to the call mode after the alarm is
acknowledged.
1 Press the emergency button
to activate the emergency
call/alarm feature.
The display begins
alternating
EMERGNCY (W4,
W5, W7) or
EMERGENCY (W9)
with the current zone/
channel.
For trunking modes, a high-
pitched tone sounds,
indicating that the alarm has
been received by the trunked
system’s central controller.
A dispatcher
acknowledgment (four high-
pitched tones) follows,
accompanied by an
ACK
RCVD
display.
2 Press the PTT button and
announce your emergency.
