3.6.13 Silent Emergency Mode

The Silent Emergency Mode is a type of emergency services that provides no audible indications and no keypad
tones at the entrance. All the display indications are as in the idle mode. However, the radio cannot use any
services except for:
• Receiving Ambience Listening
• Sending Silent Emergency Alarms
• Sending GPS location reports
If you try to activate any other feature, it is blocked and no indication is displayed.
If the Silent Emergency feature is enabled, the radio enters Silent Emergency Mode on pressing the EMERGENCY
button. After entering the Silent Emergency Mode, the radio guarantees itself to be in TMO Mode. The radio
stays in TMO Mode or switches to it, depending on the actual state. Once in TMO Mode, the radio sends Silent
Emergency Alarm.
If the radio is in a private or group call, the radio waits until the call ends and then enters the Silent
Emergency Mode.
The radio keeps re-sending the alarm until successful sending is confirmed. After the alarm is successfully delivered,
the radio stays in Silent Emergency Mode and waits for the Ambience Listening. On pressing the EMERGENCY
button again, while being in the Silent Emergency Mode, the radio sends the Silent Emergency Alarm (and does not
provide any audible or visible indications).
Your radio exits the Silent Emergency Mode, under the following conditions:
• Press MENU simultaneously with right NAVIGATION key.
• Press both SOFT keys simultaneously.
• No success in sending the Silent Emergency Alarm and the maximum number of retries has been reached.
