The LED lights up solid green when your radio is

a negative indicator tone sounds.
Emergency Operation
Note: If your radio is programmed for “Silent” or
“Silent with voice” emergency initiation, in most cases
it automatically exits silent operation after the
Emergency Call or Emergency Alert is finished. The
exception to this rule is when “Emergency Alert” is the
configured Emergency Mode and “Silent” is the
configured Emergency Type. If your radio is
programmed in this manner, the silent operation
continues until you cancel silent operation by
pressing PTT or the button configured for
“Emergency Off”.
Emergency voice calls and Emergency Alerts are not
supported when operating in Connect Plus Auto
Fallback mode. For more information see the Auto
Fallback on page 65.
An Emergency Alert is used to indicate a critical
situation. You can initiate an Emergency at any time,
in any state, even when there is activity on the current
channel. Pressing the Emergency button initiates the
programmed Emergency mode. The programmed
Emergency mode may also be initiated by triggering
the optional Man Down feature. The Emergency
feature may be disabled in your radio.
Your dealer can set the duration of a button press for
the programmed Emergency button, except for long
press, which is similar with all other buttons:
Short press Between 0.05 seconds and 0.75
seconds.
