Emergency Operation 
Sending an Emergency Alarm with Emergency Call 
138 
This feature gives your radio priority access on a 
channel for conventional system, and to a talkgroup 
for trunking system. 
 
If the radio has both emergency call and alarm 
features enabled, it automatically proceeds to the 
call mode after the alarm is acknowledged. 
 
Procedure: 
1. Press the preprogrammed Emergency button. 
A tone sounds, the LED blinks red momentarily, 
and the radio displays EMERGENCY. For 
trunking system, the radio also sounds a high-
pitched tone that indicates the alarm is received 
by the central controller of the trunked system. A 
dispatcher acknowledgement (four high-pitched 
tones) follows, accompanied by an Ack received 
display. 
2. Hold the microphone vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.0 
to 2.5 cm) from your mouth. 
3. Press and hold the PTT button. Speak clearly into 
the microphone.  
4. Release the PTT button to end transmission and 
wait for a response from the dispatcher. 
5. To exit Emergency Call, press and hold the 
preprogrammed Emergency button for about a 
second. 
 
Turning off the radio also cancels the emergency 
state.
