• If the Lone Worker shortcut key is programmed to a key, press this key to enable or disable the Lone
Worker feature.
When this feature is enabled (i.e., turned on), the radio briefly displays “Lone Worker On!” When this feature
is disabled (i.e., turned off), the radio briefly displays “Lone Worker Off!”
Using Lone Worker
1. Enable (i.e., turn on) the Lone Worker feature if it is not already. Refer to the previous section as
necessary. The current enable/disable status can be viewed from the Lone Worker menu.
2. Select a channel programmed for Alarm or Alarm with Call emergency mode signaling. Consult with radio
system administration personnel as necessary.
3. When the radio begins sounding reminder beeps, press any radio key to reset the response timer. If this
timer is not reset before it times-out, the radio will begin alarm transmissions per radio programming.
When transmitting, the LED indicator on the top of the radio lights red and “Sending Alarm” displays.
4. If the programmed emergency mode is Alarm with Call, the radio beeps once and enters a hot-mic period.
The icon displays and the LED indicator lights red. During this time, speak into the radio’s
microphone to transmit voice audio on the channel. Pressing the PTT key is not necessary.
5. Next, the radio enters a receive period, displaying the icon. During this time, listen for a voice reply to
the alarm and/or voice transmission. Adjust volume as necessary.
The hot-mic and receive periods may be programmed to repeat one or more times.
6. To exit the emergency mode, thus ending alarm and voice transmissions early, simply press the Emergency
Off shortcut key. If this shortcut key is not programmed, select another channel or cycle radio power to exit
the emergency mode.
