8.21 Emergency Alarm
This feature is enabled by your dealer via the programming software. In case of an emergency, you can
use the feature to ask for help from your companion or control center. The emergency alarm has the
highest priority. You can make emergency operation even when the radio is transmitting or receiving.
Caution:
Any of the two situations below will occur when the emergency alarm initiator exits the
Emergency mode:
The initiator will exit the Emergency mode by pressing the programmed Emergency Off key or
Power Off key.
When exiting this mode in other ways (as introduced below), the radio can only exit the
emergency alarm on the current channel temporarily, and will continue to give the alarm when it
returns to this channel; moreover, when the radio switches to another channel which is also
designed with the Emergency feature, it will give an alarm on that channel, too.
Before use, you may need to know the following concepts.
