Dialling an emergency call
If your radio has a keypad microphone installed, you can dial
an emergency call. For information about entering characters
using the keypad microphone, see “About the keypad micro-
phone” on page 17.
1 Dial *9.
2 Press Send or the or PTT key.
An emergency call is now sent to the emergency location
that has been programmed for your radio.
Note: If you wish to send an emergency call to another
radio, you may be able to dial *9*n then press the
or PTT key. In this case, n is the radio
unit number you wish to send the emergency call to
and may be a two- or three-digit number.
Activating emergency mode
You can activate emergency mode using a function key
programmed for emergency mode. Alternatively, you may be
able to activate emergency mode using a hidden switch or
panic button. Once emergency mode is activated, your radio
makes an emergency call to your dispatcher or some other
predetermined location. The radio then enters
emergency mode.
While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle
between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher can
hear any activity near the radio.
