• Exiting the Emergency State
It is important that you exit the emergency state when you have finished.
There are four ways to exit the emergency state:
1. Press the
Emergency Button
for approximately 1 second (this time
is programmable through radio service software); a medium-pitched,
emergency-exit tone sounds until the button is released and the
radio returns to normal operation.
2. Radios programmed with emergency alarm — the emergency alarm
state may be exited by pressing the
PTT Switch
. The alarm will be
canceled (without an emergency-exit tone), and you may begin
transmitting your voice call.
3. On radios equipped with emergency alarm with call — pressing the
PTT Switch
while the radio is in emergency-alarm operation will
place the radio in emergency-call operation.
4. Radios programmed with emergency alarm only — the emergency
state is automatically exited upon reception of an acknowledgment
from the dispatcher or if the alarms are exhausted when no
acknowledgment is received. This method applies to non-silent
emergency alarm radios.
If you have a silent-emergency alarm radio, use method 1, 2, or 3
to exit the emergency alarm state.
• Emergency Keep-Alive
When this feature is enabled, moving the
On/Off Control Knob
to the off
position will not turn your radio off if it is in an emergency state. Your
radio will continue normal emergency operation as if the power is on. The
radio will not turn power off until it exits the emergency state.
