Programming for 5-Tone Emergency with ID
This procedure enables you to send an emergency signal to a particular radio (or dispatch) and send your
radio’s ID.
The following instructions assume that frequencies, tones, and squelch are set and the radios are in PMR mode
(found in the Menu bar under Model). Additionally, the Auto Reset Timer must be enabled (Memory CH) and a
value entered (Common -> Common). These instructions apply to all Icom radios with PMR capability.
