RESPONDING TO EMERGENCY

ALERTS (
Your radio offers choices for initiating and
responding to Emergency Alert
communications. Choices may include:
• Emergency Cycles - Allows the radio to
automatically cycle between transmit and
receive mode over a preprogrammed
number of times by keying with voice after it
has received an Acknowledge to the alarm
you send. The default number of transmits
is one (10, maximum); the default value of
the retransmit interval is 5 seconds (one,
minimum; 60, maximum).
• Emergency Alarm/Call - Gives you access
to a voice resource, on a priority basis, over
all other types of call traffic.
• Emergency Remote Monitor - Enables the
dispatcher to activate the transmit circuit of
your radio, during an Emergency, to hear
the situation through your microphone. See
page 23 for more about sending an
Emergency Remote Monitor.
• Remote Monitor - Enables the dispatcher to
activate the transmit circuit of your radio,
during a normal dispatch, to hear the
situation through your microphone. See
page 23 for information about sending a
Remote Monitor.
Note: All the choices listed above are dealer
preprogrammed. See your dealer for
more details.
