EMERGENCY OPERATION
Emergency signaling can be transmitted when operating in the
conventional mode. Emergency signaling will transmit 5 times with a
delay between each transmission. To send an emergency call on the
selected conventional system and channel (or on an optionally pre-
programmed conventional emergency system and channel), proceed as
follows:
Press and hold the red button for approximately one second (this
time is programmable and, therefore, could be longer or shorter; check
with the system administrator). The radio turns on the TX indicator and
proceeds to transmit the pre-programmed emergency signaling sequence.
Emergency signaling is programmed to transmit in one of the following
methods:
METHOD 1: Signaling is transmitted on the selected channel. If the
channel is changed the emergency signaling will continue
to be transmitted on the newly selected channel.
METHOD 2: Same as METHOD 1 but the radio will lock on to the
currently selected channel. Any attempts to change the
system or channel will be disabled.
METHOD 3: Signaling is transmitted on a pre-programmed conventional
emergency system and channel regardless of the selected
channel. In this case the selected channel is available for
voice transmission and the radio will periodically change
to the pre-programmed emergency system and channel to
send the emergency signaling and then change back to the
selected channel.
METHOD 4: Same as METHOD 3 but the radio will lock on to the pre-
programmed emergency system and channel. Any attempts
to change the system or channel will be disabled.
The emergency state can be cleared by turning the radio OFF and then
back ON.
