• Emergency Call (Trunking Only)
• Emergency Alarm with Emergency Call
• Silent Emergency Alarm
• Special Considerations for Emergencies
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more
information on the programming of this feature.
One channel supports only one Emergency mode. The
radio responds differently when pressing the
preprogrammed Emergency button in each channel.Only
one of the Emergency modes can be assigned to the
preprogrammed Emergency button or the Emergency
footswitch.
The radio operates in the normal dispatch manner while in
Emergency Call, except if enabled, it returns to one of the
following:
Tactical/Non-Revert
The radio sends an emergency alarm and/or makes an
emergency call on the current channel.
Non-Tactical/Revert for Conventional System
The radio reverts to the preprogrammed emergency
channel to send an alarm and/or make an emergency
call.
Non-Tactical/Revert for Trunking System
The radio reverts to the preprogrammed emergency
talkgroup (trunking system) or channel (conventional
system) to send an alarm and/or make an emergency
call.
NOTICE:
When changing channels during Emergency
transmissions:
• If the new channel is also preprogrammed for
Emergency, you can change channels while in
Emergency operation. The emergency alarm or
call continues on the new channel.
• If the new channel is not preprogrammed for
Emergency, the display shows No emergency,
and you hear an invalid tone until you exit the
Emergency state or change to a channel
preprogrammed for Emergency.
When enabled, the Emergency Keep-Alive feature
prevents the radio from being turned off by using the
On/Off/Volume Control Knob when the radio is in
the Emergency state.
