EMERGENCY OPERATION

If enabled, G-STAR emergency signaling can be transmitted when operating

in the conventional mode. This G-STAR signaling will transmit 5 times with a

delay between each transmission. To send an emergency call on the selected

conventional system and channel (or on an optionally pre-programmed

conventional emergency system and channel), proceed as follows:

Press and hold the red

E button for approximately one second (this time is

programmable and, therefore, could be longer or shorter; check with the

system administrator). The radio turns on the TX indicator and proceeds to

transmit the pre-programmed G-STAR emergency signaling sequence.

G-STAR is programmed to transmit in one of the following methods:

METHOD 1:

G-STAR is transmitted on the selected channel. If the channel

is changed the emergency signaling will continue to be

transmitted on the newly selected channel.

METHOD 2:

Same as METHOD 1 but the radio will lock on to the

currently selected channel. Any attempts to change the system

or channel will be disabled.

METHOD 3:

G-STAR is transmitted on a pre-

rogrammed conventional

emergency system and channel regardless of the selected

channel. In this case the selected channel is available fo

voice transmission and the radio will periodically change to

the pre-programmed emergency system and channel to sen

the emergency signaling and then change back to the selected

channel.

METHOD 4:

Same as METHOD 3 but the radio will lock on to the pre-

rogrammed emergency system and channel. Any attempts to

change the system or channel will be disabled.

The emergency state can be cleared by turning the radio OFF and then back

ON.

Using 5-Tone Signaling to Declare an Emergency

If 5-Tone signaling is defined for emergency declaration in place of G-STAR

emergency signaling, a pre-programmed tone sequence will be transmitted

instead of the G-STAR sequence. This emergency declaration functions as the

G-STAR emergency in all other respects.

Tone Encode Transmission

In conventional mode two keys can be defined to be tone encode triggers. If

either one of the pre-programmed tone encode triggers is pressed, a pre-

programmed tone sequence will be transmitted on the current system and

channel. (See Emergency Operation if

E key is used.) The TX indicator

will light during tone transmission and a beep will sound at the end of the
