About Emergency Operation

In an emergency, users may be able to summon help by sending an emergency call. After making the call, the radio
may be programmed to enter emergency mode. While emergency mode is active, the radio may cycle between
receive and transmit, so that the dispatcher or the called party can hear any activity near the radio.
On most networks, an emergency call takes precedence over other call types, and existing calls are cleared down so
that the emergency call can proceed.
To make an emergency call from a radio, users may be able to either:
• use a function key programmed for emergency mode
• make an emergency call using
• the address book (see Making a Call Using the Address Book)
• a workgroup (see Making a call to a workgroup)
• a preset (see Making a Preset Call)
• dial the emergency call using the alphanumeric keys
