If the radio is pre-programmed for Alarm emergency mode operations on the selected analog channel,
press the pre-programmed Emergency shortcut key transmit an alarm. When an alarm is transmitted,
a (red phone handset) icon and “Sending Alarm” is displayed. Also, the LED indicator on the top

Alarm with Call Emergency Mode
If the radio is pre-programmed for Alarm with Call

and “Sending Alarm” in its display. Also, the LED indicator on the top of the radio rapidly flashes orange
then glows red to indicate the alarm transmission. The radio may also be pre-programmed to sound an
