Sending an Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm to another
radio. Upon acknowledgment, your radio’s microphone is
automatically activated, allowing you to communicate with the
other radio without pressing the PTT button.
This activated microphone state is also known as “hot mic”.
If you press the PTT button during the programmed hot mic
transmission period, the radio ignores the PTT press and
remains in Emergency mode.
NOTE: If you press the PTT button during hot mic, and
continue to press it after the hot mic duration expires,
the radio continues to transmit until you release the
PTT button.
Procedure:
1Press the programmed Emergency button.
2The LED lights up solid green. An Emergency Enter Tone
sounds at each retry.
3When an Emergency Alarm acknowledgment is received,
the Emergency Acknowledgment Tone sounds. The LED
blinks green. Speak clearly into the microphone.
4When hot mic has been enabled, the radio automatically
transmits without a PTT press until the hot mic duration
expires.
5While transmitting, the LED lights up solid green.
6Once the hot mic duration expires, the radio automatically
stops transmitting. To transmit again, press the PTT button.
If your radio is set to Silent, it will not have any audio or visual
indicators related to the Emergency feature, or receive any
response from the target radio, until the programmed hot mic
transmission period is over, and you press the PTT button.
If your radio is set to Silent with Voice, it will not have any audio
or visual indicators related to the Emergency feature when you
are making the call with hot mic, or when the target radio
responds after the programmed hot mic transmission period is
over. The indicators will only appear when you press the PTT
button.
