Receiving An Emergency Call
When receiving an emergency call from the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and BSY comes on. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the dis- play on line two until the emergency condition is cleared. Follow standard emergency procedures.
Declaring An Emergency Call
To send an emergency call to the selected system and group (or on an optionally preprogrammed group), proceed as follows:
1.Press and hold the red EMERGENCY button that is on top of the radio in front of the antenna for approxi- mately one second (this time is programmable and therefore could be longer or shorter; check with the system administrator). The radio will transmit an emergency call request with the radio ID until an emergency channel assignment is received.
2.When the working channel assignment is received, the radio sounds a single beep (Autokey alert tone) indicating it is ready for voice transmission.
*TXEMER* flashes on line two in the display until the emergency is cleared.
3.Press PTT and speak into the microphone in a normal voice. BSY turns on.
4.Release PTT when the transmission is complete and listen for a reply.
