Changing Channels During Emergncy; Using The Emergency Keep-Alive Feature; Fireground (Conventional Only) - Motorola APX 7000 User Manual



Changing Channels during Emergncy

For ALL Emergency transmissions, when changing channels:
•
If the new channel is also preprogrammed for Emergency,
you can change channels while in Emergency operation. The
emergency alarm or call continues on the new channel.
•
If the new channel is NOT preprogrammed for Emergency,
the display shows No emergency, and you hear an invalid
tone until you exit the Emergency state or change to a
channel preprogrammed for Emergency.


Using the Emergency Keep-Alive Feature

This feature, when enabled, prevents the radio from being
turned off via the On/Off Control Knob when the radio is in the
Emergency state.
Note: The radio only exits the Emergency state using one of
the ways mentioned in the previous sections.
See Sending an Emergency Alarm on page 67,
Sending an Emergency Call (Trunking Only) on
page 67, Sending an Emergency Alarm with
Emergency Call on page 68, or Sending a Silent
Emergency Alarm on page 68.

Fireground (Conventional Only)

The portable Fireground Communications System is designed
for deployment at an incident scene. It consists of five central
components:
•
Your APX portable radios
•
Incident Management Software
•
Command Terminal
•
Radio Frequency (RF) Modem
•
DVRS (Optional)
These components provide on-scene and inbuilding radio
coverage, and enhanced personnel accountability and
monitoring.
The radio helps to indicate your presence on the scene if it is in
the range of the Incident Commander's command terminal.
Each Fireground Communication System radio automatically
reports your radio's ID on the commander's mobile command
terminal. Your name, riding position and sector are all can be
configured to be seen at the Commander's command terminal.
If you have a critical situation, you can press the Emergency
button which activates an alarm on the Incident Management
Software at the command terminal.
