and VRS are mutually exclusive. Even if the mobile is
programmed for Alarm and Call, when the Alarm case is exited,
the mobile will not transition into Emergency Call while the VRS
is activated. Likewise, if the mobile is in Emergency Call, the VRS
cannot be activated.

NOTE: When an Emergency Alarm is received, the dispatcher

may elevate that talkgroup to Emergency status.
