Emergency Alarm (MDC-1200 Only)
Emergency Alarm is a function to send an Emergency Alarm Request message before the transceiver enters Emergency
Mode to notify the base station that the transceiver is in an emergency situation.
Using this function can reliably notify the base station that the transceiver is in an emergency situation.
If the Emergency key is pressed and held for longer than the time configured for Emergency-key Delay Time on an analog
channel or GID where MDC-1200 is used as the signaling type, the transceiver sends the Emergency Alarm Request
message using the emergency packet in the MDC-1200 format. Upon receipt of an acknowledgment, the transceiver
enters Emergency Mode.
