Making Emergency Group Calls; Receiving Emergency Group Calls; Non-Tactical Emergency - Motorola MTM800 FuG Feature User Manual

An emergency group call can be configured as:
• A non-tactical call – initiated on a talkgroup preprogrammed by your service provider. When in non-
tactical emergency mode, you cannot switch talkgroups.
• A tactical call – initiated on the currently selected talkgroup.
Pressing the Emergency button during an ongoing emergency broadcast call has no effect. No new
call is started and no emergency alert is sent.
When the Emergency Group Call you participate in terminates, your radio can behave in several ways,
depending on your service provider settings:
• If you are the call initiator, the radio can either stay in the Emergency Mode, or return to TMO.
• If you are not the call initiator, the radio always returns to TMO.

3.5.2.2

Receiving Emergency Group Calls

The radio receives an Emergency Group Call from a selected pre-programmed group. An appropriate
tone, status icon, and red color of the display indicates an incoming call.
3.5.3

Non-Tactical Emergency

In Non-Tactical Emergency, the radio switches to a designated Emergency talkgroup when starting
Emergency Operations. This talkgroup is used for the complete duration of the Emergency Operations
and changing talkgroup is not allowed.
In Trunked Mode Operation (TMO), it is possible to configure the radio to make Emergency Non-
Tactical Group Calls without sending attachment. If set, the radio assumes implicit attachment after
receiving a temporary address.
In Direct Mode Operation (DMO), the Non-Tactical Emergency proceeds on the same frequency as the
previously selected talkgroup. The service provider can designate any Individual TETRA Subscriber
Identity (ITSI) address to be used for Emergency Operations and this ITSI can be an Open Group -
broadcast address.
After exiting from Non-Tactical Emergency, the radio goes back to the previously selected talkgroup.
