Sending an Emergency Alarm

When and where to use: This feature allows you to send a data transmission, which identifies the
radio sending the emergency, to the dispatcher.
NOTICE: The default timer of Emergency button press to activate Emergency is 300
milliseconds. This timer is programmable from 300–6200 milliseconds by a qualified technician.
Procedure:
Press the preprogrammed Emergency button.
One of the following scenarios occurs:
• The display shows Emergency and the current zone or channel. You hear a short medium-
pitched tone and the LED blinks red momentarily.
• The radio sounds a short low-pitched tone to indicate that the selected channel does not
support emergency and rejects to launch emergency mode. The display shows No
emergency, if the selected channel does not support emergency.
When you receive the dispatcher's acknowledgment, the display shows Ack received. Four tones
sound, the alarm ends, and the radio exits the Emergency Alarm mode.
If no acknowledgment is received, the display shows No acknowledge. The alarm ends when the
timer expires and the radio exits the Emergency Alarm mode.
