This GE-STAR signalling 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 EMERGENCY button that is on the top of the radio in front of the antenna for approximately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check with the system administrator). The radio displays XMIT and proceeds to transmit the pre-programmed GE- STAR emergency signalling sequence.
GE-STAR is programmed to transmit in one of the following methods:
METHOD 1: GE-STAR is transmitted on the selected channel. If the channel is changed, the emergency signalling will continue to be transmitted on the newly selected chan- nel.
METHOD 2: Same as METHOD 1 but the radio will lock on to the currently selected channel. Any attempts to change the channel will be dis- abled.
METHOD 3: GE-STAR is transmitted on a pre-pro- grammed conventional emergency sys- tem and channel regardless of the se- lected channel. In this case the selected channel is available for voice transmission and the radio will periodically change to
