Special Considerations for Emergencies

• If you press the emergency button while in a mode that has no
emergency capability, a low-pitched tone sounds.
• If the unit is out of the range of the system and/or the emergency
alarm is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and the display shows
NO ACK.
• If you press the emergency button, then change to a mode that
has no emergency capability, a NO EMERG display alternates with
the mode name display, and a continuous low-pitched tone
sounds until a valid emergency mode is selected or until the
emergency is cancelled.
• When an emergency is active, changing to another mode where
emergency is enabled (trunked or conventional) causes an
emergency alarm and/or emergency call to be active on the new
mode.
