• When the transceiver enters Emergency mode, the transceiver
will change to the Emergency channel and begin transmitting
based on how the transceiver is set up.

During interruptions in service (such as a power failure), you
can continue to communicate by using the Talk Around feature.
Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other
transceivers without the use of a repeater, as long they are not
too far away or there are no geographical obstacles in the way.
Press the key programmed as [Talk Around] to toggle the
Talk Around function ON or OFF.
• The indicator appears while Talk Around is activated.
