Initiating An Emergency Call And Alarm - Motorola Astro XTL 5000 User Manual

Initiating an Emergency Call and Alarm

If the radio has both emergency call and alarm features, it
automatically proceeds to the call mode after the alarm is
acknowledged.
1 Press the emergency button to activate the emergency call/
alarm feature.
The display begins alternating EMERGENCY with the current
zone/channel.
For trunking modes, a high-pitched tone sounds, indicating
that the alarm has been received by the trunked system's
central controller.
A dispatcher acknowledgment (four high-pitched tones) follows,
accompanied by an ACK RCVD display.
2 Press the PTT button and announce your emergency.
3 To exit from the emergency state altogether, press and hold the
emergency button until a tone sounds.
The alternating EMERGENCY display disappears, and the radio
returns to normal operation.
Note: Turning the radio off also cancels the emergency state.
