Change of Channels during Emergency
For ALL Emergency transmissions, when changing

•
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.
Emergency Keep-Alive Feature
This feature, when enabled, prevents the radio from
being turned off via the On/Off Control Knob when
the radio is in the Emergency state.
Note
The radio only exits the Emergency state
using one of the ways mentioned in the
previous sections.
