General Radio Features
Initiating an Emergency Call and Alarm
If the radio has both emergency call and alarm features, it
automatically proceeds to the call mode after the alarm is
acknowledged.
Special Considerations for Emergencies
• If you press the emergency button while in a mode that has no
emergency capability, a low-pitched tone sounds.
• If the emergency alarm is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and
the display shows NO ACK.
• If you press the emergency button, then change to a mode that
has no emergency capability, a NO EMERG display alternates with
the mode name display, and a continuous low-pitched tone
sounds until a valid emergency mode is selected or until the
emergency is cancelled.
• When an emergency is active, changing to another mode where
emergency is enabled causes an emergency alarm and/or
emergency call to be active on the new mode.
1 Press the emergency button to activate the emergency call/
alarm feature.
The display begins alternating EMERGNCY with the current zone/
channel.
A dispatcher acknowledgment (four high-pitched tones) follows,
accompanied by an ACK RCVD display.
2 Press the PTT button and announce your emergency.
3 To exit from the emergency state altogether, press and hold the
emergency button until a tone sounds.
The alternating EMERGNCY display disappears, and the radio
returns to normal operation.
Note: Turning the radio off also cancels the emergency state.
