EMERGENCY OPERATION
If enabled by pre-programming, GE-STAR
emergency signaling can be transmitted when the
Emergency button is pressed and held for one second.
This Emergency GE-STAR ID can be pre-programmed
to be sent on the channel selected by the CHANNEL
SELECT control or a pre-programmed Home Channel.
The red TX indicator will light and the radio proceeds
to transmit the Emergency GE-STAR ID for the
programmed time interval and number of times (1 to 15
or unlimited, pre-programmed). If programmed for
unlimited times, the emergency operation will continue
until the battery is dead or the radio is turned OFF and
then back ON.
Should the Emergency GE-STAR button be
pressed when the radio is in scanning operation, the
radio will stop scanning, perform the transmission of
the GE-STAR ID emergency signaling and then
resume normal operation.
The emergency state can be cleared by turning the
radio off and then back on.
