About manual emergency
operation
This feature is available for digital channels only.
When you press the emergency key, your radio sends
an alert to your dispatcher and other members of your
group, along with your radio digital alias and location.
While the emergency call is active, the emergency
information is sent out periodically, until either you or
another member of your group end the emergency
call.
You are still able to make and receive voice calls while
emergency information is being sent, but your radio
does not display caller details.
