Common Radio Features

Sending an Emergency Alarm

This feature is useful when you want to alert the dispatcher of an
emergency condition. The dispatcher receives your radio ID in
addition to the emergency message. An emergency call gives your
radio priority over any other traffic on the channel.
Follow the steps below to send an emergency alarm:
Press the orange button (T1).
The display alternately shows
EMERGNCY and the name of the current
zone and mode. You hear a short,
medium-pitched ("emergency") tone.
When the dispatcher acknowledges the emergency, you hear
four short, medium-pitched tones and the display shows ACK
RCVD. The radio automatically exits emergency mode and
returns to the home display.
Note: If you do not receive an acknowledgment for the emergency
alarm, the radio automatically re-transmits the emergency
alarm. The number of repetitions is preprogrammed by your
system manager.
