About the lone worker feature
The ‘lone worker’ emergency feature is designed for people
who work alone in potentially hazardous environments. Your
radio may be programmed so that lone worker monitoring is
active as soon as your radio is turned on, or you may be able
to turn lone worker on and off.
While lone worker is active, the radio expects a response
from you at regular intervals, and usually prompts you with a
warning beep. Typically, this happens every hour.
If you are unable to respond to this prompt, an audible
warning may be given shortly before the radio sends an
emergency call or enters emergency mode, to warn you and
to prevent false activation.
For a detailed explanation of emergency mode, see
“Making
an emergency call” on page 56
(conventional operation) and
“Making an emergency call” on page 69
(trunked
operation).
If the radio is operating in silent mode, then any audible
indicators for lone worker are turned off.
