dPMR OPERATION
■ Transmitting a call (continued)
D Transmitting an Emergency call
If a digital channel is used as the Emergency channel, the
transceiver can access the dPMR emergency mode.
If your transceiver is programmed for Silent operation, you
can transmit Emergency calls without the beep sounding or
the display changing.
q Hold down [Emergency] for the preprogrammed time pe-
riod to enter the emergency mode.
• Countdown beeps start.
• To exit the emergency mode, hold down [Emergency] for the
preprogrammed period before the end of the count-down time
period.
w When the time period ends, the transceiver automatically
starts an Emergency call cycle, once or repeatedly, de-
pending on the preprogrammed repeat cycle setting.
In an Emergency call cycle, the transceiver automatically
e
transmits a digital signal to inform the dispatcher that the
user is in an emergency situation.
• "WAIT" appears while transmitting.
• When an acknowledgement is received, "CONNECT" is dis-
played. You can communicate with the dispatcher by pushing
[PTT], until a 'Disconnect' signal terminates the connection.
• When no acknowledgement is received, an error beep sounds
and "FAILED" is displayed.
NOTE: Depending on the preprogrammed setting, the
transceiver does not transmit the digital signal in the re-
peated cycles.

After the Emergency call cycles have ended, the trans-
r
ceiver automatically returns to the stand-by mode.
• To exit the emergency mode manually, turn OFF the power, and
turn ON it again.
