Note:
For ALL Emergency signals, when changing channels:
•
If the new channel is also preprogrammed for
Emergency, you can change channels while in
Emergency operation. The emergency alarm or call
continues on the new channel.
•
If the new channel is NOT preprogrammed for
Emergency, the display shows No emergency, and
you hear an invalid tone until you exit the Emergency
state or change to a channel preprogrammed for
Emergency.
Using the Emergency Keep-Alive Feature
This feature, when enabled, prevents the radio from being
turned off via the MFK when the radio is in the Emergency
state.
Note:
The radio only exits the Emergency state using one of
the ways mentioned in the previous sections.
See Sending an Emergency Alarm on page 57,
Sending an Emergency Call (Trunking Only) on
page 57, Sending an Emergency Alarm with
Emergency Call on page 58, or Sending a Silent
Emergency Alarm on page 58.
Fireground (Conventional Only)
The portable Fireground Communications System is designed
for deployment at an incident scene. It consists of five central
components:
•
Your APX portable radios
•
Incident Management Software
•
Command Terminal
•
Radio Frequency (RF) Modem
•
Portable Repeater (Optional)
These components provide on-scene and inbuilding radio
coverage, and enhanced personnel accountability and
monitoring.
The radio helps to indicate your presence on the scene if it is in
the range of the Incident Commander's command terminal.
Each Fireground Communication System radio automatically
reports your radio's ID on the commander's mobile command
terminal. Your name, riding position and sector are all can be
configured to be seen at the Commander's command terminal.
If you have a critical situation, you can press the Emergency
button which activates an alarm on the Incident Management
Software at the command terminal.
