Receiving an Emergency Group Call
A terminal in TMO receives an Emergency Group Call to the 
selected group, associated ATG (Announcement Talkgroup), 
or scanned group. If the ATG is the currently selected group, 
the terminal will receive the Emergency Group Call to the 
group associated with this ATG. (For information on the ATG, 
see page 32.) 
When the 
 MTH800 receives the call, the display will show 
Emgcy In Use and the caller’s identity.
If upon entering Emergency Mode, your MTH800 receives an 
Emergency call, and Hot Microphone was enabled by your 
Service Provider, the Wait For Mic message will be 
displayed. Your MTH800 will attempt to get a talk permit.
The caller’s voice will always sound via the speaker (unless 
an external earpiece is connected to the terminal.
If configured by your Service Provider, the screen 
background will be red.
Making an Emergency Private Call
•   Press and hold the Emergency button.
•   The terminal will start the call as a half-duplex or full-
duplex call (as programmed). The Emergency ID is pre-
defined and is not displayed. 
•   Continue the call as you would do in a half-duplex or full-
duplex call.
During this pending time the MTH800 microphone is not active until the 
Emgcy Mic On message is displayed again.
