Emergency Operation (Selcall Option Fitted)
To utilise the emergency capability of the T2020, the radio must be fitted with Selcall
selective tone calling and be connected to a hidden emergency switch. (The
key on
the front panel may also be programmed to initiate the emergency state.)
1
To send an emergency call, operate the hidden switch. This will cause no change
in the front panel indications of the T2020, but the radio will send a Selcall
emergency code to a preprogrammed party (usually your base or despatcher) every
few seconds until it receives an acknowledging Selcall code.
Note:
The emergency cycling option is controlled at the time of programming. If
emergency cycling is disabled then the emergency sequence is sent only once
and no Tx/Rx cycling occurs.
2
The radio will then adopt a transmit/receive cycle which allows the base or
despatcher to monitor activity in the vicinity of the radio.
3
The radio may be removed from this mode either by receiving a reset code from the
base or despatcher during one of its receive periods, or by turning the radio off and
back on without the emergency switch operated.
