BASIC OPERATION
Emergency transmission ■
When [Emergency] is pushed for the specified time period, an
emergency signal is transmitted once, or repeatedly, on the
specified emergency channel, depending on the presetting.
A repeat emergency signal is automatically transmitted until
the transceiver receives an acknowledgement signal, or you
turn OFF the transceiver power.
When no emergency channel is specified, the signal is trans-
mitted on the previously selected channel.
If you want to cancel the emergency call, hold down [Emer-
gency] again before transmitting it.
If your transceiver is preset for Silent operation, you can
transmit an Emergency call without the beep sounding and
the LED indicator lighting.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set a separate emer-
gency channel to provide reliable emergency calls.
NOTES D
Depending on the presetting, the following functions may be
automatically activated. Ask your dealer for details.
• Auto TX function
After the emergency call transmission, audio from the micro-
phone is automatically transmitted for a specified time pe-
riod.
• Auto RX function
After the emergency call transmission, the transceiver stands
by in the audible mode for the specified time period.
Man Down Emergency Call ■
This function is available, depending on the transceiver version.
When the transceiver has been left in a horizontal position for
the specied time period*, the transceiver enters the emer-
gency mode, and then the countdown starts.
After the specied time period* has passed, an emergency
call is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly.
If the transceiver is placed in a vertical position before the first
transmission, the transceiver exits the emergency mode and
the emergency call is cancelled.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set a separate emer-
gency channel to provide reliable emergency calls.
