About emergency calls
Warning When emergency mode is activated, your
encryption keys may be automatically deleted from
your radio.
In an emergency you can summon help by sending an
emergency call. There are three types of emergency
calls:
Call type Explanation
Priority call (Digital channels only.) An emergency alert
is automatically sent to the current
talkgroup. Calls made when the priority call
feature is turned on are flagged as
‘emergency’ calls. For further information
see "Making a priority call" on page 121.
Standard
emergency
call
When an emergency call is initiated, the
radio enters ‘emergency mode’. For further
information see "Standard emergency
mode" on page 122.
Manual
emergency
call
(Digital channels only.) Emergency is
activated and your radio sends an alert to
your dispatcher and other members of your
group, along with your radio digital alias and
location. For further information see "About
manual emergency operation" on page 123.
