If the connection to the repeater device is lost,
is
displayed, and the radio will continue to operate in normal direct mode.

Q
Red key calls and emergency calls in direct mode
If you are not within the network coverage area, you cannot make emergency
calls or
red key calls
to network mode destinations.
If you attempt to make an emergency call to an emergency number in the
direct mode, the radio switches to the network mode, attempts to connect to
the network, and attempts to make the call.
For each direct mode channel, your organisation can define whether the radio
attempts to make
red key calls
in the direct mode to a predefined direct mode
group, or switches to the network mode and attempts to make the call to the
destination that is predefined for
red key calls
in network mode.
It is possible to predefine the direct mode
red key call
in a way that if the radio
switches to the network mode and attempts to make the call but the service is
not established within a predefined time (1-60 seconds), the radio switches
back to direct mode and makes the
red key call
to a direct mode group.
Press and hold the red function key, and the radio attempts to make a
red key
call
. Press the red function key and then the back key, and the radio attempts
to make a silent
red key call
. However, if the silent call is made to the
predefined direct mode group, it changes into an ordinary
red key call
to the
group. See also Red key calls and status sending on page 20.
If a compatible direct mode gateway device is available, and a
red key call
is
made to a predefined direct mode group, the call may also be transmitted to
the network mode group that is predefined for the gateway device.
If the radio receives a
red key call
, or a call made to a destination that is
predefined as an emergency number, the radio plays a tone, and
is displayed with the call information.
