Dialing an emergency call
1 Dial *9.
2 Press Send or the # or PTT key.
An emergency call is now sent to the emergency
location that has been programmed for your radio.
Activating emergency mode
You can activate emergency mode using a function
key programmed for emergency mode. Alternatively,
you may be able to activate emergency mode using a
hidden switch or panic button. Once emergency mode
is activated, your radio makes an emergency call to
your dispatcher or some other predetermined
location. The radio then enters emergency mode.
While emergency mode is active, your radio may
cycle between receive and transmit, so that your
dispatcher can hear any activity near the radio.
Cancelling emergency mode
Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by
turning the radio off and then on.
This feature is only available for radios with
alphanumeric keys.
If you wish to send an emergency call to
another radio, you may be able to dial *9*n then
press the # or PTT key. In this case, n is the
radio unit number you wish to send the
emergency call to and may be a two- or three-
digit number.
Emergency mode may be programmed to end
after a fixed period of time. In this case, there is
no need to turn the radio off and then on in order
to return the radio to normal operation.
