Emergency Operation
If enabled, GE-STAR emergency signaling can be transmitted when operat-
ing in the conventional mode. This GE-STAR signaling will transmit 5 times
with a delay between each transmission. To send an emergency call on the
selected conventional system and channel (or on an optionally pre-pro-
grammed conventional emergency system and channel), proceed as follows:
Press and hold the red
programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check with the sys-
tem administrator). The radio turns on the TX indicator and proceeds to
transmit the pre-programmed GE-STAR emergency signaling sequence.
GE-STAR is programmed to transmit in one of the following methods:
METHOD 1: GE-STAR is transmitted on the selected channel. If the
channel is changed the emergency signaling will continue to
be transmitted on the newly selected channel.
METHOD 2: Same as METHOD 1 but the radio will lock on to the cur-
rently selected channel. Any attempts to change the system
or channel will be disabled.
METHOD 3: GE-STAR is transmitted on a pre-programmed conventional
emergency system and channel regardless of the selected
channel. In this case the selected channel is available for
voice transmission and the radio will periodically change to
the pre-programmed emergency system and channel to send
