Emergency
For radios programmed with the emergency feature, pressing the
Emergency
Button
(if programmed, see page 2) will send out an emergency signal that
takes precedence over any other signalling activity in progress on the selected
channel. There are two types of emergency signals:
•
Emergency Alarm
sends a data transmission to alert the dispatcher to an
emergency condition and identify the radio sending the emergency
signal.
•
Emergency Call
is a type of dispatch operation which gives your radio
priority access to channels (not available on conventional radios).
“Emergency” signals a critical situation. It should never be used
for any other reason.
• Entering the Emergency State
1. Press and hold the
Emergency Button
(if
programmed, see page 2). The length of the
press-and-hold time required is programmable
through radio service software.
2. The display alternates between showing
“EMERGENCY” and the current zone/ channel
combination (except for silent-emergency alarm
- see step 3b).
