It is recommended that a null group be programmed into the first
location initially. This will avoid overwriting a desired group from the
list unintentionally.
RECEIVING AN EMERGENCY MESSAGE
From The Selected Group
When an emergency is received from a member of your selected group,
"EMERGNCY" flashes on your display.
If an emergency call is made, "E*xxxxxx" (where xxxxxx is the balance
of the group display) will flash in the display until the call is complete.
When an emergency transmission is received from a member of your
selected Group or System; the "E*" portion of the display will flash, the BSY
indicator will come on, and a tone sounds. When this occurs, follow your
standard emergency procedures. The emergency display remains on until the
emergency is cleared.
From A Scanned Group
When you receive an emergency call from a scanned Group (scan
operating), the display shows the scanned Group's name with the first two
characters replaced by the emergency indicator (typically "E*"). The BSY
indicator comes on, and you hear the Emergency tone. The display will flash
until the BSY indicator goes out and the radio returns to normal operation.
SENDING AN EMERGENCY MESSAGE
To send an Emergency call to the selected (or Home) System/ Group,
proceed as follows:
1. Press and release the HOME/EMERGENCY button (holding it
pressed for approximately one second). The radio continuously dis-
plays "EMERGNCY" (unless programmed off). A message with
your ID is also sent to the dispatcher declaring an emergency. You
will be given highest priority for voice communication.
2. Press the PTT button and wait for the channel-available tone. Speak
into the microphone in a normal voice. All audio and displays are
restored to normal.
