56 Single radio operation
Making an emergency call
You may be able to activate emergency mode by using a
programmed function key.
The emergency function key may be programmed for either a
short key press or long key press.
1 Press the function key programmed for Emergency Mode
and an emergency call is sent to your dispatcher, or some
other predetermined location.
While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle
between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher
can hear any activity near the radio. Alternatively, your
radio may appear to turn off but will actually remain in
emergency mode.
2 Reset the radio to normal operation at any time
by turning the radio off and then on.
Emergency mode may be programmed to end after a fixed
period of time. In this case, there is no need to turn the radio
off and then on in order to return the radio to normal
operation.
