Making a preset emergency call
Depending on how your radio is programmed, you
may be able to use a programmed function key to
make a preset emergency call from your radio.
1 Press the programmed function key (depending on
your configuration), or use the scroll keys to select
the emergency preset and press the PTT.
An emergency call is now sent to the emergency
location that has been programmed for your radio.
Activating emergency mode
You can activate emergency mode using a function
key programmed for emergency mode. Alternatively,
you may be able to activate emergency mode using a
hidden switch or panic button. Once emergency mode
is activated, your radio makes an emergency call to
your dispatcher or some other predetermined
location. The radio then enters emergency mode.
While emergency mode is active, your radio may
cycle between receive and transmit, so that your
dispatcher can hear any activity near the radio.
Cancelling emergency mode
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.
Receiving a call
When you receive a call, your radio responds in one
of two ways, depending on the way it was
programmed and the way your network operates.
