Red key calls and status sending
In the network mode, the
red key call
is a network service. Before
you can take advantage of this network service, you must subscribe
to it through your service provider, and obtain instructions for its use
from your service provider. Depending on the settings defined by
your organisation, either a red key call can be made or a status
message can be sent, or both of them can be done simultaneously.
The
red key call
is made and the status message is sent to a
destination that has been predefined by your organisation.
Making a red key call
In the network mode, when you press and hold the red function key,
the radio will attempt to make a
red key call
. When you press the
red function key and then the back key, the radio will attempt to
make a silent
red key call
. It is possible to predefine the
red key call
so that it can be made in direct mode if the service has not been
established within a predefined time (1-60 seconds). For information
on
red key calls
in the direct mode, see Red key calls and
emergency calls in direct mode on page 62.
If the radio receives a
red key call
, or a call made to a destination
that is predefined as an emergency number, the radio plays a tone,
and
Priority call
is displayed with the call information.
Note that your organisation can predefine the
red key call
in a way
that a speech item of a
red key call
needs to be ended manually or
in a way that it has a predefined autotransmit time. In the latter case,
the call is not ended automatically, only the autotransmit is ended.
So the user must press the PTT key if he wants to transmit.
Sending a red key status message
When you press and hold the red function key, the red key status
message is sent to a destination predefined by your organisation.
