Stat-AlertTM(MDC-1200TM) Signalling Features

Stat-Alert—Emergency

If this feature is enabled in your radio, pressing the emergency button (the orange top button) will send out an emergency alarm signal. This signal takes precedence over any other signalling activity in progress.

“Emergency” signals a critical situation. It should never be used for any other reason.

Sending an Emergency Alarm

1.Press and hold the emergency button (the length of the button press is RSS programmable) until the LED lights solid red and the display alternates between showing “EMERGENCY” and the current zone and mode. A short, medium-pitched emergency tone sounds.

2.When the alarm is acknowledged by the base, the radio sounds four beeps and the alarm ends. The radio returns to normal operation.

Sending a Silent Emergency Alarm

In radios with the silent emergency alarm option enabled, pressing the emergency button sends an emergency signal to the dispatcher. During the emergency alarm procedure: the LED will not light, tones will not be heard, and the display will not change.

The receive audio will be muted (turned off), and will remain so until you exit the emergency state. As an option, the receive audio can be enabled to allow you to hear messages.

Cancelling an Emergency Alarm

Press the emergency button for more than 1 1/2 seconds (programmable). A medium-pitched, emergency-exit tone sounds until the button is released and the radio returns to normal operation.

The alarm will also be cancelled (without emergency-exit tone) by:

•pressing the PTT switch,

•turning the radio off, or

•receiving an acknowledge from the dispatcher.

Stat-Alert - Emergency Hot Microphone

This feature will automatically send an emergency alarm and start the radio transmitting using either the internal microphone or the optional remote speaker microphone.

Both emergency alarm and call must be enabled. Initiate the emergency. The radio will send an alarm and begin transmitting on the specified emergency group through the internal microphone or remote speaker microphone for a pre- programmed transmit time. The radio will remain in normal emergency call after the transmit time has expired. To re-initiate the hot-microphone emergency, you must exit and re-start the emergency.
