else.

Emergency Calls

Emergency is useful if a user is in a potentially hazardous situation, such as risk of hijack or hostage
situation (taxis and police). A single button press establishes immediate communication with a pre-
defined person or group of people. Emergency calls are prioritised by the radio system and by pass
all normal system protocols.
Emergency can be activated by pressing a button or switch with the feature programmed to it. The
Emergency feature can be programmed to any of the programmable buttons, or inputs on the
accessory connector. If an emergency switch is connected to pin 9 of the accessory connector and
the radio is turned off, pressing the switch will turn the radio on and immediately put it into
emergency mode: see emergency wake up in the accessory connector section.
13.6.1 Emergency Cycles
When in emergency mode, the radio cycles through periods of transmission (TX) and reception
(RX), to allow the central dispatcher (base) to hear activity in the vicinity of the radio, and to then
allow the radio user to hear messages from the base. This is automatic due to the assumption that
in the emergency situation, the radio user is probably unable to press and release the PTT button.
The duration of the TX and RX periods within the cycle is dealer programmable.
NOTE The microphone must be a 'hot' mic for its audio to be transmitted without the radio
user having to press the PTT. In a 'hot' mic, the PTT is not in series with the mic, and
the radio can put the mic into transmit mode. The compact mic, HMN3413, is a 'hot'
mic.
Limited Number of Cycles:
The number of TX/RX cycles can be dealer programmed as a fixed number, or to carry on until the
emergency mode is reset (see later).
TX Cycle: Tone / Tone & Voice
Optionally, a special 'alarm' tone can be transmitted along with any sounds picked up by the
microphone. This alarm tone is at a low level, so that voice messages from the mobile radio user
can still be heard by the central dispatcher, but is distinctive so that all radio users on the channel
are immediately aware that they are listening to an emergency transmission.
