Emergency Operation
NOTICE:
If your radio is programmed for Silent or Silent with
Voice emergency initiation, in most cases it
automatically exits silent operation after the
Emergency Call or Emergency Alert is finished. The
exception to this rule is when Emergency Alert is the
configured Emergency Mode and Silent is the
configured Emergency Type. If your radio is
programmed in this manner, the silent operation
continues until you cancel silent operation by
pressing PTT or the button configured for
Emergency Off.
Emergency voice calls and Emergency Alerts are
not supported when operating in Connect Plus Auto
Fallback mode. For more information see the Auto
Fallback on page 257.
An Emergency Alert is used to indicate a critical situation.
You can initiate an Emergency at any time on any screen
display, even when there is activity on the current channel.
Pressing the Emergency button initiates the programmed
Emergency mode. The programmed Emergency mode may
also be initiated by triggering the optional Man Down
feature. The Emergency feature may be disabled in your
radio.

programmed Emergency button, except for long press,

The Emergency button is assigned with the Emergency
On/Off feature. Check with your dealer for the assigned
operation of the Emergency button.
