SPECIAL FEATURES

This section outlines some of the special features that
can be configured for your radio.
All references to what is shown on the display is only
valid for GP580 radios. Throughout this section, the
display below
PLANT POLICE
is used to indicate the radio's home display.

EMERGENCY OPERATION

Pressing the top emergency button (for radios with
emergency operation) sends out an emergency signal,
which takes precedence over any other signalling
activity in progress. This emergency signal can take
two forms: emergency alarm and emergency call. Your
radio can have either or both signal types enabled.
• The emergency alarm feature alerts the
dispatcher, who is using a special terminal, to an
emergency condition and identifies the unit
sending the emergency signal.
• The emergency call (radios with trunked
emergency operation only) is a type of dispatch
operation which gives your radio priority access.
Emergency call is programmable for either
tactical or non-tactical operation.

English
Tactical emergency operation places the call to
the currently selected mode; non-tactical
operation places the call to a predetermined
emergency mode.
"Emergency" signals a critical situation. It should
NEVER be used for any other reason.
