Initiating an Emergency Call with Voice to Follow
Your radio must be programmed for this type of
operation.
When enabled for this operation, when you press the
programmed Emergency button, and when your
radio receives the time slot assignment, the
microphone is automatically activated without
pressing the PTT button. This activated microphone
state is also known as “hot mic”. The “hot mic” applies
to the first voice transmission from your radio during
the Emergency call. For subsequent transmissions in
the same Emergency call, you must press the PTT
button.
1 Press the programmed Emergency button.
2 Hold the radio vertically 1 to 2 inches (2.5 to 5.0
cm) from your mouth.
3 The microphone remains active for the “hot mic”
time specified in your radio's codeplug
programming.
During this time, the LED lights up green.
4 Press and hold the PTT button to talk longer than
the programmed duration.
Initiating an Emergency Alert
Note: If your radio is programmed for “Silent” or
“Silent with Voice”, it will not provide any audio or
visual indications that it is sending an Emergency
Alert. If programmed for “Silent”, the silent operation
continues indefinitely until you press PTT or the
button configured for “Emergency Off”. If programmed
for “Silent with Voice”, the radio automatically cancels
silent operation when the site controller broadcasts
the Emergency Alert.
Press the orange Emergency button.
Upon transmitting the Emergency Alert to the site
controller, the radio’s display shows the
Emergency icon, the Group contact used for the
Emergency Alert, and TX Alarm.
Once the Emergency Alert is successfully sent
and is being broadcast for other radios to hear, a
positive indicator tone sounds and the radio’s
display shows Alarm Sent. If the Emergency Alert
is unsuccessful, a negative indicator tone sounds
and the radio displays Alarm Failed.
