BASIC OPERATION

■ Emergency transmission

When [Emergency] is pushed for the specified time period*,
the emergency signal is transmitted once, or repeatedly, on
the specified emergency channel.
A repeat emergency signal is automatically transmitted until
the transceiver receives an acknowledgement signal, or you
turn the transceiver power OFF.
When no emergency channel is specified, the signal is trans-
mitted on the previously selected channel.
If you want to cancel the emergency call, push and hold
[Emergency] again before transmitting the call.
If your transceiver is programmed for Silent operation, you
can transmit an Emergency call without the beep sounding
and the LED indicator lighting.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set an emergency
channel individually to provide the certain emergency call
operation.
