DRAFT 2

Delaying the emergency action

(conventional mode only)

In conventional mode, an additional emergency entry

delay may be programmed which allows you to press

a scroll key within a programmed time (usually 10

seconds) after the response time expires to delay the

emergency action.

You now have the opportunity to turn the radio off and

one to cancel the loneworker alarm.

The emergency action can be delayed only

once.
