SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES
59
An emergency alarm is a special data transmission to alert your
dispatcher of an emergency situation, and an emergency call is an urgent
request for access to a voice channel. The emergency alarm and call are
transmitted on the emergency talk group or announcement group that has
been preprogrammed by your system operator on the currently selected
channel. Proceed as follows:
1. To transmit an emergency alarm, select a SMARTNET/SmartZone
channel that has that feature enabled and then press the Emergency
option switch.
2. The emergency alarm is then transmitted and “EMERGNCY” is
indicated in the display for a short time. Transmitting continues until an
acknowledgment is received (indicated by two beeps) or the
programmed number of attempts have occurred. Silent operation may
also be programmed in which case no audio or visual indication of the
alarm condition occurs.
3. To transmit an emergency call, press the Emergency option switch with
a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel selected that has that feature
enabled. Then manually press the PTT switch and begin speaking as
with a standard call. All calls that follow are then emergency calls and
they occur on the emergency talk group.
4. To exit the emergency mode, power must be turned off and then on
again.
Failsoft Operation
If a failure occurs in the SMARTNET/SmartZone system so that it
cannot be used, the transceiver automatically enters the failsoft mode.
When this mode is selected, the display alternately indicates “FAIL-
SOFT” and the alias of the selected channel.
When in the failsoft mode, operation is in the conventional mode on
a preprogrammed failsoft channel. If a transmission is attempted before a
failsoft channel is located, a continuous tone sounds until the PTT switch
