MDC 1200 OPERATION
D Emergency Calls
The MDC 1200 Emergency feature can be accessed using
the [MDC Emg] key (p. 10). The optional UT-124
can also activate this feature. The transceiver will
unit
repeatedly send an Emergency MDC 1200 command to the
dispatcher for a programmed length of time until it receives
an acknowledgement signal.
The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep emis-
sion and LCD indication change depends on the setting.
With MDC 1200 Emergency, the transceiver can also be
programmed to keep the microphone open during an emer-
gency call, allowing monitoring of the situation.
Ask your dealer for details.
D Stun and Revive
The dispatcher can send MDC 1200 signals that will stun or
revive your transceiver. If a Stun command is received that
matches your station ID, the transceiver will display "SORRY"
and you can not receive or transmit. When a Revive com-
mand is received that matches your station ID, normal oper-
ation is restored.
