Emergency Operation

An Emergency Alarm is used to indicate a critical situation.
If the top (orange) button is preprogrammed to send an
emergency signal, this signal overrides any other
communication over the selected channel.
Your radio supports the following Emergency Alarms:
•
Emergency Alarm
•
Emergency Call
•

Consult a qualified radio technician for emergency
programming of your radio.
Only one of the Emergency Alarms above can be assigned to
the preprogrammed Emergency button.
Note: To exit emergency at any time, press and hold the
preprogrammed Emergency button for about a
second.
