Initiating an Emergency Alarm
The emergency alarm feature sends a data transmission to alert the
dispatcher of your emergency condition and identify your unit ID.
Press the emergency button.
A tone sounds and the display alternates EMERGENCY with the
current zone/channel.
For trunking modes, a high-pitched tone indicates that the
alarm has been received by the trunked system's central
controller.
A dispatcher acknowledgment ACK RECEIVED display follows.
The radio automatically returns to normal operation. No further
action is required.
