9.28.1 Declaring an Emergency Call or Alert
1. Press the red emergency button on the radio to enter emergency mode.
The emergency behavior for the selected profile is configured by the network administrator.
This determines whether pressing the Emergency button sends an Emergency Call or just an
Emergency Alert. An Emergency Alert is always part of and sent with an Emergency Call.
• If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured to Emergency Alert, the
three-beep emergency alert signal is sent only to the dispatcher console.
• If the active profile of the unit initiating the emergency is configured to Emergency Call, the
three-beep emergency alert signal is sent to the dispatcher console and to all other radios within
the selected Talk Group. The default emergency Talk Group becomes the selected Talk Group.
The display will alternate between the emergency Talk Group name and EMERGENCY to indicate
that the emergency has been initiated.
2. The microphone is hot (open mic) for a programmed amount of time in order to send your voice out
on the emergency Talk Group.
If the attempt is unsuccessful, “E-PEND” flashes periodically and a retry is queued for 10 seconds. If the
attempt is unsuccessful because of lost sync, retry occurs immediately upon reacquiring sync. On each
retry attempt, radio temporarily displays “E-RETRY.” This process repeats until the emergency is
successfully declared.
9.28.2 Receiving an Emergency Call
Initially, when receiving an emergency call, the radio sounds the emergency tone (three short high-
pitched tones).
The radio will flash EMERGENCY and display the alias of the user that triggered the emergency or the alias
of the Talk Group (if the incoming Talk Group is the selected Talk Group of the receiving radio).
With No Scan, only the emergency tone is heard, not the initial open mic transmission.
To dismiss or ignore the emergency, refer to Section 9.28.3.
9.28.3 Dismissing an Emergency
The “Dismissing an Emergency” function allows you to “ignore” an emergency declared by another user.
An emergency is dismissed for a configurable amount of time (default = 5 minutes).
1. After receiving an emergency call, press the or button until you see EmgDismiss.
2. Press the to toggle “<” on (dismiss) and off. This works in similar fashion to the lock out menu.
The emergency dismiss timer is cleared when the emergency is cleared.
