See Man Down on page 54 for details.

Sending an Emergency Alarm

This feature allows you to send a data transmission,
which identifies the radio sending the emergency, to
the dispatcher.
Note: Emergency button press timer by default is set
to 1 second. This timer is programmable from 0 – 6
seconds by a qualified technician.
Press the preprogrammed Emergency button.
One of the following scenarios occurs:
• The display shows EMERGENCY and the current
zone or channel. You hear a short medium-
pitched tone and the LED blinks red
momentarily.
• You hear the radio sounds a short low-pitched
tone to indicate that the selected channel does
not support emergency and rejects to launch
emergency mode.
When you receive the dispatcher's acknowledgment,
the display shows ACK RCVD. You hear four tones, the
alarm ends, and the radio exits the Emergency Alarm
mode.
If no acknowledgement is received, the display shows
NO ACK. The alarm ends and the radio exits the
Emergency Alarm mode.
