Callout alerts
Your radio can receive Callout Alerts sent over the network to inform you of incidents. When a
Callout Alert arrives the radio sounds an audible alarm and a Callout message is displayed on the
screen. To silence this alarm press any key. A voice call may also be initiated. Your radio may also be
customised to alert you of Callouts in other ways (such as vibrator alert and/or a flashing LED alerts).
When it receives a Callout Alert your radio goes into Protected Callout Mode (in which many
features are disabled) for a set time period or until you respond to or acknowledge the Callout
message. This mode is designed to stop you getting distracted and to focus your attention on an
incident.
