programmed conventional emergency system and channel), proceed as
follows:
Press and hold the red E button for approximately one second (this time
is programmable and, therefore, could be longer or shorter; check with the
system administrator). The radio turns on the TX indicator and proceeds to
transmit the pre-programmed G-STAR emergency signalling sequence.
G-STAR is programmed to transmit in one of the following methods:
METHOD 1: G-STAR is transmitted on the selected channel. If the
channel is changed the emergency signalling will continue
to be transmitted on the newly selected channel.
METHOD 2: Same as METHOD 1 but the radio will lock on to the
currently selected channel. Any attempts to change the
system or channel will be disabled.
METHOD 3: G-STAR is transmitted on a pre-programmed conventional
emergency system and channel regardless of the selected
channel. In this case the selected channel is available for
voice transmission and the radio will periodically change to
the pre-programmed emergency system and channel to send
the emergency signalling and then change back to the
selected channel.
METHOD 4: Same as METHOD 3 but the radio will lock on to the pre-
programmed emergency system and channel. Any attempts
to change the system or channel will be disabled.
The emergency state can be cleared by turning the radio OFF and then back
ON.
Using 5-Tone Signalling for Emergency Declaration
If 5-Tone signalling is defined for emergency declaration in place of G-
STAR emergency signalling, a pre-programmed tone sequence will be
transmitted instead of the G-STAR sequence. This emergency declaration
functions as the G-STAR emergency in all other r espects.
Tone Encode Transmission
In conventional mode two keys can be defined to be tone e ncod e tr igger s. I f
either one of the pre-programmed tone encode triggers is pressed, a pre-
programmed tone sequence will be transmitted on the current system and
channel. (See Emergency Operation if E key is used.) The TX
indicator will light during tone transmission and a beep will sound at the
