Microphone.

Silent Emergency Mode

The Silent Emergency Mode is a type of emergency services that provides no audible indications and no keypad tones
at the entrance. All the display indications are as in the home mode. However, the radio cannot use any services
except for:
• Receiving Ambience Listening
• Sending Silent Emergency Alarms
• Sending GPS location reports
Note: If you try to activate any other feature, it is blocked.
If the Silent Emergency feature is enabled, the radio enters Silent Emergency Mode on pressing the EMERGENCY
button. After entering this Mode the radio stays in TMO or switches to it, depending on the actual state. Once in
TMO, the radio sends Silent Emergency Alarm.
Note: If the radio is in a private or group call, the radio waits until the call ends and then enters the Silent
Emergency Mode.
The radio keeps re-sending the alarm until successful sending is confirmed. After the alarm is successfully delivered,
the radio stays in Silent Emergency Mode and waits for the Ambience Listening.
Your radio exits the Silent Emergency Mode, under the following conditions:
• Press MENU and then # key within 3 seconds.
• Press MENU simultaneously with right NAVIGATION key.
• Press both SOFT keys simultaneously.
• No success in sending the Silent Emergency Alarm and the maximum number of retries has been reached.
• The control room terminates the Silent Ambience Listening.
• The Ambience Listening is disconnected due to another reason.
If you turn off the radio in the Silent Emergency Mode, the radio switches to pseudo power off state. In this state, the
radio appears to be turned off. However, the radio is still on and in the Silent Emergency Mode. On turning the radio
on during the pseudo power off state, the radio acts as during turning on and still is in the Silent Emergency Mode.

Invisible Emergency

It is possible for the service provider to disable visual and audible indications of performing Emergency Operations
on the radio. The purpose of this feature is to hide the fact of using Emergency Operations in a critical situation (e.g.
direct attack on the user) and thus to provide additional layer of safety.

Disaster Alert

Disaster Alert call is a broadcast emergency call initiated by the radio, with emergency pre-emptive priority that
everyone in a broadcast area can hear. This feature is specifically designed for catastrophic situations, such as
earthquakes, and has the highest priority over other calls. All radios under Disaster Alert display emergency
notification on their screens. The alert message, its duration and destination talkgroup can be configured in the
codeplug.
In order to initiate Disaster Alert, switch the radio to Disaster Alert mode and press PTT button. When the call ends,
the radio will exit the Disaster Alert state.
During Disaster Alert, other functionality is impacted:
• When Disaster Alert begins, any other ongoing services are terminated.
