EMERGENCY CALLS
If your transceiver has been programmed with the Emergency
function, you can make emergency calls.
Note: Only the AUX key can be programmed with the Emergency
function.
1 Press and hold the key programmed as Emergency .
• Depending on the delay time programmed into your
transceiver, the length of time you must hold the
Emergency
key will vary.
• When the transceiver enters Emergency mode, a tone will
sound and the transceiver will change to the emergency
channel and begin transmitting based on how the transceiver
is set up by your dealer.
• When transmission ends, a second tone will sound. The
transceiver will henceforth periodically transmit with tones
sounding when it starts and stops. Transmission periods are
set by your dealer.
2 To exit Emergency mode, press and hold the Emergency
key again.
• If the Emergency mode completes the preset number of
cycles, Emergency mode will automatically end and the
transceiver will return to the channel that was in use before
Emergency mode was entered.
Note: Your dealer can set the transceiver to emit tones and received
signals as normal or mute the speaker during Emergency operation.
