Once the display shows Emergency Alarm

Successful, speak clearly into the microphone.

When hot mic has been enabled, the radio au-

tomatically transmits without a PTT press until

the hot mic duration expires.

While transmitting, the LED lights up solid green

and the Emergency icon appears on the display.

Once the hot mic duration expires, the radio au-

tomatically stops transmitting. To transmit again,

press the

PTT

button.

If your radio is set to Silent, it will not display any

audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode,

or allow any received calls to sound through the

radio’s speaker, until the programmed hot mic

transmission period is over, and you press the

PTT

button.
If your radio is set to Silent with Voice, it will not

display any audio or visual indicators during

Emergency mode when you are making the call

with hot mic, but allow sound through the radio’s

speaker when the target radio responds after the

programmed hot mic transmission period is over.

The indicators will only appear when you press the

PTT

button.

NOTE

: If the Emergency Alarm request fails, the

radio does not retry to send the request,

and enters the hot mic state directly.

Reinitiating an Emergency Mode

NOTE

: This feature is only applicable to the radio

sending the Emergency Alarm.

There are two instances where this can happen:

• You change the channel while the radio is in

Emergency mode. This exits the Emergency

mode. If Emergency Alarm is enabled on this

new channel, the radio reinitiates Emergency.

• You press the programmed Emergency On but

ton during an Emergency initiation/transmission

state. This causes the radio to exit this state,

and to reinitiate Emergency.
