ASTRO XTL 5000 Digital Mobile Radio with W4, W5, W7, and W9 21
General Radio Features
Initiating an Emergency Alarm
The emergency alarm feature sends a data transmission to alert the
dispatcher of your emergency condition and identify your unit ID.
Press the emergency button.
A tone sounds and the display alternates EMERGNCY (W4, W5,
W7) or EMERGENCY (W9) with the current zone/channel.
For trunking modes, a high-pitched tone indicates that the
alarm has been received by the trunked system’s central
controller.
A dispatcher acknowledgment (four high-pitched tones) and an
ACK RCVD display follow.
The radio automatically returns to normal operation. No further
action is required.
