Emergency Mode
You can send and receive Emergency Group Calls in Trunked Mode or in Direct Mode. If your terminal is configured to operate through a gateway, Emergency calls can be placed through the gateway.
You can initiate an Emergency Group Call to:
•selected group (TMO and DMO – if tactical emergency)
•
DMO operates as in tactical emergency)
Contact your Service Provider to know which is the selected mode.
To receive an emergency call the terminal always has to be attached to the group on which the call is transmitted.
Your Service Provider will configure the Emergency Alarm and Hot Microphone features.
Emergency calls will be allocated emergency priority in the system.
Entering or Exiting Emergency Mode
To enter Emergency Mode, press and hold the TMO/DMO/ Emergency button on the Remote Control Unit.
The required time you need to press the Emergency button is set to default to 0.5 second. The time can be configured by your Service Provider.
To exit Emergency Mode, press and hold the Emergency button until the audible confirmation heard.
Sending Emergency Alarm
In TMO only, your TCR1000 sends an Emergency Alarm to the dispatcher (if configured by your Service Provider) automatically, upon entering Emergency Mode.
The Emergency Alarm is a special status message sent to the dispatcher monitoring the selected group. This can be used in dispatch systems to highlight emergency calls.
Pressing the Emergency button, even if Transmit Inhibit is activated, causes the TCR1000 to transmit immediately. The TCR1000 must NOT be within the RF sensitive area when entering Emergency Mode.
