Group Call, the terminal will enter Emergency Mode and will
leave the Emergency Mode when the call ends.

Entering or Exiting Emergency Mode
Upon entry into Emergency Mode any existing call or service
other than packet data service will be aborted or cleared
down.
In Emergency Mode, the terminal will automatically reject
Phone, PABX and Private Calls, and will not monitor the
groups in the user selected scan list. If an ATG is the selected
group, however, the terminal will monitor the sub-groups
associated with the ATG. The terminal will remain in
Emergency Mode until you exist it.
Press and hold the Emergency button to enter
Emergency Mode.
When the MTP850 is Off, press this button to
power the MTP850 On in Emergency Mode (if
configured).
The terminal exits Emergency Mode and
switches to the Home display:
• If you press and hold the Exit soft key during an
Emergency Group Call
• If the infrastructure ends the Emergency Group Call.
Sending an Emergency Alarm
Your MTP850 will send an Emergency Alarm to the
dispatcher (if configured by your Service Provider):
• Automatically, upon entering Emergency Mode.
• If you press the Emergency button while the MTP850 is in
Emergency Mode.
• If you change group while in Emergency Mode.
