SPECIAL FEATURES

Emergency Alert Mode

The Emergency Alert feature can be used to signal
members in your group of your need for urgent help.
T47X series radios operate in an automatic "hands-
free" emergency control mode for a total of 30
seconds after activating the Emergency Alert. T47X
series radios in your group automatically advances
the speaker volume to the maximum setting and
sound a warbling alert tone for 8 seconds. The alert
tone is emitted from your own radio speaker and the
receiving radios in your group. After the 8 second
alert, any spoken words or incidental sounds at your
end is transmitted to the group for 22 seconds. For
the 30 second duration of Emergency Alert mode,
T47X series radio controls and buttons is locked to
maximize reception of the emergency message.

There is no need to continue to hold the Emergency Alert
button or use PTT for your message to be transmitted.

microphone. Your voice or incidental sounds is
transmitted.

Confirmation Tone. Operation then returns to normal
two-way mode.
