An emergency call is now sent to the
emergency location that has been
programmed for your radio.
Note: If you wish to send an emergency call to another radio,
you may be able to dial *9*n then press the
key. In this case, n is the radio unit number you wish to
send the emergency call to and may be a two- or three-
digit number.
Activating emergency mode
You can activate emergency mode using a function key
programmed for emergency mode. Alternatively, you may be
able to activate emergency mode using a hidden switch or
panic button. Once emergency mode is activated, your radio
makes an emergency call to your dispatcher or some other
predetermined location. The radio then enters
emergency mode.
While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle
between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher can
hear any activity near the radio.
Cancelling emergency mode
Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by turning the
radio off and then on.
Note: Emergency mode may be programmed to end after a
fixed period of time. In this case, there is no need to
turn the radio off and then on in order to return the
radio to normal operation.
