Emergency Alarm/Call

Introduction

Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate functions that can be indi-

vidually enabled or disabled on each SMARTNET/SmartZone system by

dealer programming. The EMER option switch is also required for these

functions, and it is always the button to the left of the display when it is

used. Emergency Alarms and Calls are transmitted on the

preprogrammed emergency talk group.

Emergency Alarms

An emergency alarm is a special data transmission that alerts a

dispatcher of an emergency situation. Proceed as follows to activate an

emergency alarm:

1. Select a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel that has this feature enabled

and then press the EMER option switch. The radio then begins auto-

matically transmitting an emergency alarm data message and

"EMERGNCY" is indicated in the display for 3 seconds.

2. When the emergency alarm is acknowledged, the emergency acknowl-

edge tone (two beeps) sounds. Silent operation may also be

programmed in which case no tone sounds and there is no indication

that an acknowledgment occurred.
