Emergency Find Me
The Emergency Find Me (EFM) feature is an additional
emergency feature providing information to nearby radios,
utilizing the Bluetooth Low Energy (BT-LE) transmission
from a radio. In an emergency situation, when the user
presses the pre-programmed Emergency button, there will
be periodic EFM beacon transmitted from the radio along
with the other existing emergency activities. The radios
which are near to the transmitting radio and are capable of
receiving BT-LE signals would receive the beacon
transmission. The range of EFM beacon depends on the
environment in which the radios are located.
Check with your dealer or system administrator for more
information on the programming of this feature.
