Emergency call

When you send an emergency call, the radio sends a
message to alert the party you are calling, usually a
despatcher, that you are in distress. You may still need to
inform them of your location and any other relevant
information.
On most networks, emergency calls pre-empt other types of
calls, and so if all traffic channels are busy, an existing call
will be cleared down so the emergency call can proceed.

dial 999, then press the enter key ( ) or the hash key
n

dial *9, then press the enter key ( ) or the hash key
n
