About manual emergency

operation

This feature is available for digital channels only.

When you press the emergency key, your radio sends
an alert to your dispatcher and other members of your
group, along with your radio digital alias and location.

While the emergency call is active, the emergency
information is sent out periodically, until either you or
another member of your group end the emergency
call.

You are still able to make and receive voice calls while
emergency information is being sent, but your radio
does not display caller details.

Making a manual emergency call

Warning

You will not be able to make a voice call on

the channel until the 3-second emergency alarm has
finished.

1

Press and hold the emergency key for longer than
three seconds.

The radio gives three short beeps, rising in pitch.

Emergency

appears in the display, and remains

until the manual emergency call is canceled.

If you receive an acknowledgement from another
radio in your group, the manual emergency call is
canceled, and the message

Emergency Acked

briefly appears in the display.
