Emergency Calls
The MDC 1200 Emergency feature can be accessed using
the [MDC Emg] key (p. 10). The optional UT-113
MAN DOWN
UNIT
can also activate this feature. The transceiver will repeat-
edly send an Emergency MDC 1200 command to the dis-
patcher for a programmed length of time until it receives an
acknowledgement signal.
The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep emis-
sion and LCD indication change depends on the setting.
With MDC 1200 Emergency, the transceiver can also be pro-
grammed to keep the microphone open during an emergency
call, allowing monitoring of the situation.
Ask your dealer for details.
D D
Stun and Revive
The dispatcher can send MDC 1200 signals that will stun or
revive your transceiver. If a Stun command is received that
matches your station ID, the transceiver will display “SORRY”
and you can not receive or transmit. When a Revive com-
mand is received that matches your station ID, normal opera-
tion is restored.
Pre-programmed message is displayed.
