programmed conventional emergency system and channel), proceed as follows:
Press and hold the red E 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 G-STAR emergency signalling sequence.
G-STAR is programmed to transmit in one of the following methods:
METHOD 1: G-STAR is transmitted on the selected channel. If the channel is changed the emergency signalling 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: G-STAR 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 signalling 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.
Using 5-Tone Signalling for Emergency Declaration
If 5-Tone signalling is defined for emergency declaration in place of G- STAR emergency signalling, a pre-programmed tone sequence will be transmitted instead of the G-STAR sequence. This emergency declaration functions as the G-STAR emergency in all other respects.
Tone Encode Transmission
In conventional mode two keys can be defined to be tone encode triggers. If either one of the pre-programmed tone encode triggers is pressed, a pre- programmed tone sequence will be transmitted on the current system and channel. (See Emergency Operation if E key is used.) The TX indicator will light during tone transmission and a beep will sound at the
