Ignition Only Power Up
In this option, the radio turns on only when ignition is detected and turns off when ignition is removed. It does
not turn on/off with the Power button press.
If the radio is configured with the Auto Power Off Timer, it automatically turns off after being inactive for a
period (with or without ignition).
Note: If the radio is turned on with an Emergency Power Up footswitch-press, you are required to press the
Power button to turn off the radio even if ignition is not present.
If the radio is previously turned off due to the Auto Power Off Timer, you are required to press the Power
button to turn on the radio even if ignition is present.
Using Emergency Power Up
This feature allows you to power on the radio and automatically transmits an emergency mode transmission
on personalities with emergency enabled, with the use of a footswitch. This feature is not available if the
Ignition Switch option is set to either Tx Inhibit or PTT Tx Inhibit.
Procedure:
Press the footswitch to turn on the radio and launch Emergency.
A tone sounds and the display shows Emergency.
