Sending an Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm to another radio. Upon acknowledgment, your radio’s
microphone is automatically activated, allowing you to communicate with the other radio without pressing the PTT
button.
This activated microphone state is also know as “hot mic”. If you press the PTT button during the programmed
24
hot mic transmission period, the radio ignores the PTT press and remains in Emergency mode.
Procedure:
1. Press the programmed Emergency button.
2. The display shows Sending Alarm. The RED LED turns on and the Emergency icon is displayed.
3. Once the display shows Emergency Alarm successful, speak clearly into the microphone. When hot mic has been
enabled, the radio automatically transmits without a PTT press until the hot mic duration expires.
4. While transmitting, the RED LED turns on and the Emergency icon appears on the display.
5. Once the hot mic duration expires, the radio automatically stops transmitting. To transmit again, press the PTT
button.
If your radio is set to Silent, it will not display any audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode, or receive any
response from the target radio until the programmed hot mic transmission period is over, and you press the PTT butto.
If your radio is set to Silent with Voice, it will not display
any audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode when you are making the call with hot mic or when the target
radio responds after the programmed hot mic transmission period is over. The indicators will only appear when you
press the PTT button.
NOTE: If the Emergency Alarm request fails, the radio returns to the Home screen.
