Motorola XTS 3000 manual Exiting the Emergency State, Emergency Keep-Alive

Common Radio Features

Exiting the Emergency State

It is important that you exit the emergency state when you have finished. There are four ways to exit the emergency state:

1.Press the Emergency Button for approximately 1 second (this time is programmable through radio service software); a medium-pitched, emergency-exit tone sounds until the button is released and the radio returns to normal operation.

2.Radios programmed with emergency alarm — the emergency alarm state may be exited by pressing the PTT Switch. The alarm will be canceled (without an emergency-exit tone), and you may begin transmitting your voice call.

3.On radios equipped with emergency alarm with call — pressing the PTT Switch while the radio is in emergency-alarm operation will place the radio in emergency-call operation.

4.Radios programmed with emergency alarm only — the emergency state is automatically exited upon reception of an acknowledgment from the dispatcher or if the alarms are exhausted when no acknowledgment is received. This method applies to non-silent emergency alarm radios.

Note

If you have a silent-emergency alarm radio, use method 1, 2, or 3 to exit the emergency alarm state.

Emergency Keep-Alive

When this feature is enabled, moving the On/Off Control Knob to the off position will not turn your radio off if it is in an emergency state. Your radio will continue normal emergency operation as if the power is on. The radio will not turn power off until it exits the emergency state.
