If silent alarm is selected, there will be no display or audible indication
when the alarm condition is entered. Nor will there be any indication
of alarm acknowledgment. In addition, the radio will mute the
receiver audio so that no radio traffic is heard. This feature is one of the
necessary components for Hot Mic Emergency to function properly.
Programming of Silent Emergency provides the user NO in-
!
dication, visible or audible, that the emergency has been
sent. If you program silent emergency in conjunction with
the Long Press Emergency feature users should be trained to
LONG PRESS the emergency press button for an extended du-
WARNING
ration to ensure that the emergency will be sent.
The default is Disabled.
This field will be visible only if the Emergency Alarm field is set to Enabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. If a
Console Acknowledge is required, an Emergency Alarm is not
considered successful unless a Dispatcher Acknowledge is received.
When an Emergency Alarm is not successful, the full four-beep
Acknowledge Tone is not sounded and the alarm is automatically sent
again until the number of retries specified is exhausted. This feature
must be disabled for Hot Mic Emergency to function properly.
The default is Disabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the number of Emergency
transmissions to retry should the initial transmission fail. If an
unlimited number of retries is desired, select 0 (that is, Infinite).
Otherwise, enter a value between 1 and 255.
Normally if the radio is unsuccessful in sending a transmission, it will
retry for one ISW sequence before quitting. For Emergency Alarms,
however, the radio will retry for the number of ISW sequences
specified by the Retry Counter.
The default is 1.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable (Tactical) or disable (Non-
Tactical) this emergency option. Emergency Alarms and Calls are made
on the selected talkgroup unless:
Announcement is selected; or
Dynamic Regrouping talkgroup is selected and there is no valid
dynamic ID.
In both cases the default Talkgroup is used. If this field is set to
Disabled, the radio uses the default Talkgroup and default
Announcement group for emergency transmissions.
The default is Disabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable the default Emergency PTT-
ID option. If this feature is enabled, the default Talkgroup/Subfleet or
Announcement Group/Fleet-wide transmissions will be in PTT-ID
