The Address List
174 Manpack Transceiver 2110 series Reference Manual
Setting up the emergency key
When you hold , the transceiver begins a call to the station specified in the
Emergency 1 entry in the Address List. You can configure this entry to make any type of
call available to you. Emergency calls trigger an emergency alert tone at the receiving
station. When AMD messaging is used in ALE calls (MIL-STD-188-141B ALE option,
2110 only), an emergency alert tone is triggered by #HELP, #SOS, #MAYDAY,
#PANPAN, and #EMERGENCY text. The key can be set up to call one or more
stations in an emergency.
Calling one station in an emergency
To set up the key to call one station in an emergency:
1 Press VIEW until the Address List is displayed.
1 Scroll to Emergency 1, then hold .
1 Scroll to the setting that you want to set up, then hold .
1 Edit the details in each setting to suit the call you want to make (for help see
page 115, Editing an entry in a list).
Calling several stations in an emergency
If you want to set up the key to call several stations you can do so in two ways. You
can:
• make one call to several stations simultaneously
• make several different types of calls in succession
CAUTION
You should pre-set all the settings in the Emergency entries so that the call
is made automatically during an emergency without the transceiver
prompting for information.
NOTE
If the Emergency 1 entry has been deleted, create a new entry and
name it Emergency 1 (for help see page 182, Creating an entry in the
Address List).
