From A Scanned Group
When you receive an emergency call from a scanned Group (scan
operating), the display shows the scanned Group's name with the first two
characters replaced by the emergency indicator (typically "E*"). The BSY
indicator comes on, and you hear the Emergency tone. The display will flash
until the BSY indicator goes out and the radio returns to normal operation.
SENDING AN EMERGENCY MESSAGE
To send an Emergency call to the selected (or Home) System/ Group,
proceed as follows:
1.
Press and release the HOME/EMERGENCY button (holding it
pressed for approximately one second). The radio continuously dis-
plays "EMERGNCY" (unless programmed off). A message with
your ID is also sent to the dispatcher declaring an emergency. You
will be given highest priority for voice communication.
2.
Press the PTT button and wait for the channel-available tone. Speak
into the microphone in a normal voice. All audio and displays are
restored to normal.
3.
Release the PTT button when the transmission is complete, and listen
for any reply. The TX indicator will go out when you release the PTT
button.
CLEARING AN EMERGENCY
If your radio has been programmed as a supervisory unit, you may clear
emergency calls. When the emergency is no longer in effect, the emergency
call may be cleared as follows:
1.
Press and hold the CLR button.
2.
Press and release the Home/Emergency button. The EMERGNCY
display goes off.
3.
