The VX-120 includes an “Emergency” feature which may be useful if you have someone
monitoring on the same frequency as your transceiver’s “Home” channel. See page 30 for
details on setting up the Home channel.
The “Emergency” feature is activated by pressing and holding in the [ WX
(
EMG
) ] key
for one second. When this is done, (A) the radio is placed on the Home channel, (B) it
emits a loud “Alarm” sound (the volume is controlled by the
VOL/PWR knob), (C) it
flashes the LCD/keypad lamp, (D) if you press the
PTT
switch, you will disable the Emer-
gency feature temporarily; you can then transmit on the Home channel, and (E) two sec-
onds after the
PTT
switch release, the Emergency feature will resume.
To disable the “Emergency” feature, press the [
F
] key momentarily or turn the radio off by
rotating the VOL/PWR knob fully counter-clockwise into the click-stop position.
Use this feature if you are out for a walk and want a quick way of alerting a family member
as to a dangerous situation. The alarm sound may discourage an attacker and allow you to
escape.
1) Be sure to arrange with a friend or family member to be monitoring on the
same frequency, as there will be no identification sent via the Emergency
alarm sound. And do not transmit the alarm tone except in a true emergency!
2) The “Emergency” feature may be changed to another function via Set Mode Item 21:
EMG S; see page 74 for details.
