alphanumeric keys.

An emergency call is now sent to the emergency
location that has been programmed for your radio.
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.
Cancelling emergency mode
Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by
turning the radio off and then on.
Emergency mode may be programmed to end
after a fixed period of time. In this case, there is no
need to turn the radio off and then on in order to
return the radio to normal operation.
