for two seconds.
During this two second
period the transceiver
generates ‘pip’ sounds.
The transceiver
immediately changes to
the preset emergency
channel. If no channel
has been preset, the
current channel is used.
Refer to page 4-21.
After the two seconds has
elapsed, automatic tuning
begins regardless of
whether the channel has
been previously tuned.
After the tune sequence
terminates, the
emergency call is
transmitted to the preset

automatic tune process
succeeded.
