2.5.10 EMERGENCY ALARM AND CALL
Introduction
Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate func- tions that can be individually enabled or disabled on each SMARTNET/SmartZone system. The Emergency option switch is also required for these functions, and it is always the lower button (FCN) on the side when it is used. Emergency Alarms and Calls are transmitted on the emergency talk group programmed on the selected system.
Emergency Alarms
An emergency alarm is a special data transmis- sion that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency situation. Proceed as follows to activate an emergency alarm:
1.Select a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel that has this feature enabled and then press the Emergency option switch. The radio then begins automatically transmitting an emergency alarm data message and “EMERGNCY” is indicated in the display for 3 seconds.
2.When the emergency alarm is acknowledged, the emergency acknowledge tone (two beeps) sounds. Silent operation may also be programmed in which case no tone sounds and there is no indication that an acknowledgment occurred.
3.The radio continues to transmit this message until an acknowledgment is received or the programmed number of attempts have been made. To exit this mode, power must be turned off and then on again.
