SELECTIVE CALL MODE APPLICATION
■ Using with an emergency device (Continued)
Step 9 Operation
• Making an emergency broadcast from the external emergency device.
q Turn ON the power to transceiver 2 and set its operating channel to the same as
transceiver 1.
w When a signal from the emergency device's switch is sent to the VE-PG2 for
more than 0.1 second, the emergency broadcast from the emergency device is
then sent through the VE-PG2 to the external Public Address device and to trans-
ceiver 1.
• Any transceiver that is set to the same channel as Transceiver 1 will also receive the
broadcast through transceiver 1.
e The VE-PG2 sends the emergency broadcast continuously until the emergency
device's switch turns OFF.
• The kind of emergency broadcast that is sent depends of the type of external emergency
device.
[NOTE]
If you want to make an announcement to the external Public Emergency Service
using transceiver 2, follow the steps outlined below:
q Hold down transceiver 2's [PTT], and push [4] and [#] to transmit DTMF signals.
w When the VE-PG2 receives the DTMF signals, it will send a "Broadcast start
sound" to the external amplifier.
e Hold down transceiver 2's [PTT] and talk into the microphone to make the an-
nouncement.
r When you finish, hold down transceiver 2's [PTT], and push [#] to transmit a
DTMF signal (or send no sound for the preset time (default: 15 seconds)) to dis-
connect transceiver 2 from the VE-PG2, which will disconnect the communication
route.
