 On the declaring radio during an emergency call declaration, the talk group that the

emergency is declared on is temporarily displayed and then the word

“EMERGENCY” flashes on the second line of the display.

 For an emergency alert declaration, “EMERG ALERT” appears in the bottom line of

the display.

 For an emergency call declaration, other radio users and/or dispatchers at consoles

will hear the emergency signal, a distinctive 3-tone burst. They will also hear audio

from the declaring radio‟s “hot” microphone, if any.

 For an emergency alert declaration, only dispatchers at consoles will hear the

emergency signal and, if any, audio from the declaring radio‟s “hot” microphone.

 For an emergency call, the declaring radio‟s microphone remains “hot” for a

predetermined amount of time. In other words, the radio transmits audio for a

period of time even when the microphone‟s PTT button is not pressed. Audio is

transmitted over the emergency talk group. When the microphone is “hot” for this

initial period (typically ten seconds), simply speak into it for voice transmission.

If an emergency declaration is not successful, the radio will periodically re-attempt until it

is successful. During this retry period, the radio will flash “EMERG PEND” on the bottom

line of the display. It will display “EMERG RETRY” for each attempt.

7.26.2 Silent Emergency

When this feature is enabled and an emergency call or alert is declared by pressing the

emergency button, the radio will not play a tone and will display an abbreviated emergency

message (default is EBA). This feature is enabled or disabled via programming or via the

menu.

NOTE

If the Silent Emergency feature is enabled or disabled via programming, the

setting will survive power cycle. Enable/Disable selection via the menu will

NOT survive power cycle and the enable/disable state will revert to the

programmed setting at power up.

7.26.3 Clearing an Emergency Call or Alert

NOTE

Check with the system administrator to ensure that the radio is programmed

to allow an emergency to be cleared.

If enabled via programming, clear an emergency by:

1. Pressing and holding the CLEAR button and simultaneously pressing the emergency

button.

2. After the Emergency Cleared Tone sounds, release both buttons.

NOTE

If the radio is in stealth mode, clearing the emergency will take the radio out of

stealth mode.
