SPECIAL FEATURES

This section outlines some of the special features that
can be configured for your radio. However, not all
models come equipped with these features.
All references to what is shown on the display is only
valid for Model II radios. Throughout this section, the
display below
is used to indicate the radio's home display.

EMERGENCY OPERATION

Pressing the top emergency button (for radios with
emergency operation) sends out an emergency signal,
which takes precedence over any other signalling
activity in progress. This emergency signal can take
two forms: emergency alarm and emergency call. Your
radio can have either or both signal types enabled.
• The emergency alarm feature alerts the
dispatcher, who is using a special terminal, to an
emergency condition and identifies the unit
sending the emergency signal.
• The emergency call (radios with trunked
emergency operation only) is a type of dispatch
operation which gives your radio priority access.
Emergency call is programmable for either
tactical or non-tactical operation. Tactical

English

emergency operation places the call to the
currently selected mode; non-tactical operation
places the call to a predetermined emergency
mode.
"Emergency" signals a critical situation. It should
NEVER be used for any other reason.
