6.10 EMERGENCY ALARM AND CALL
6.10.1 INTRODUCTION
Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate func-
tions that can be individually enabled or disabled on
each SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked
system. The Emergency option switch (or menu
parameter) is required for these functions. Other emer-
gency features are as follows:
• Emergency Alarms are transmitted on the selected
talk group if emergency calls are disabled, and on
the emergency talk group if emergency calls are
enabled.
• Emergency Call talk group selection priority is as
follows. For example, if a global emergency channel
is not programmed, the emergency talk group of the
selected channel is used and so on.
1. Global (radio wide) emergency channel
2. Emergency group of the selected channel
