Emergency Calls - Kenwood NEXEDGE NX-700 series Instruction Manual

If your transceiver has been programmed with the Emergency function, you can
make emergency calls.
Note: Only the
key and an optional auxiliary switch, such as an emergency foot switch, can be
programmed with the Emergency function.
1 Press and hold the key programmed as Emergency.
• Depending on the delay time programmed into your transceiver, the length of time it
takes to switch to Emergency mode will vary.
• When the transceiver enters Emergency mode, the transceiver will change to the
Emergency channel and begin transmitting based on how the transceiver is set up
by your dealer. Transmit periods are also set by your dealer.
2 To exit Emergency mode, press and hold the Emergency key again.
• If the Emergency mode completes a preset number of cycles, Emergency mode will
automatically end and the transceiver will return to the zone and channel that was in
use before Emergency mode was entered.
Note:
◆ Your dealer can set the transceiver to emit a tone when transmitting in Emergency mode.
◆ Your dealer can set the transceiver to emit tones and received signals as normal or mute the
speaker during Emergency operation.
