An emergency call is now sent to the emergency location that has been programmed for the radio.

*9*n

is the radio unit number or group number users wish to send the emer-
gency call to and may be a two- or three-digit number.
Activating emergency mode
Users can activate emergency mode using a function key programmed for emergency mode. Once emergency mode
is activated, the radio makes an emergency call to a dispatcher or some other predetermined location. The radio then
enters emergency mode.
While emergency mode is active, the radio may cycle between receive and transmit, so that the dispatcher can hear
any activity near the radio.
The radio may send an emergency alarm status before the call, and an emergency end alarm status after the call.
The radio may only send an emergency alarm status and then remain in emergency mode, where any call made will
be made as an emergency call until the user cancel's emergency mode.
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.
If the function key has been enabled as a toggle key, a second press of the function key will cancel
emergency mode.
