Lone Worker

Lone Worker is a special form of Emergency mode. The feature enables individuals to work alone
with added safety. The radio continues to operate as normal providing the radio buttons are pressed
regularly. However, if none of the radio buttons are pressed for a pre-determined amount of time, the
radio sounds a distinctive reminder to prompt the user to press one of the buttons.
If after a further amount of time, the radio user still has not pressed any of the buttons, the radio
concludes the operator is in need of assistance and automatically makes an emergency call to a
pre-determined contact number.
The operation is flexible and can be tailored to meet specific customer requirements.
The Lone Worker Response time can be set from 1 to 255 minutes, giving sufficient time for a driver
to leave his vehicle, check a premise and return to the vehicle. The driver could leave a voice or
status message stating where he is going, so that if he does not return to his vehicle the location is
transmitted in the emergency call.
