successfully cleared, the remove tone will sound at the initiating radio. Also, for an emergency call, the

asterisk (*) will clear from the display.

Upon receiving an emergency call declared by another radio:

• An emergency tone sounds in the radio’s speaker/headset (three short high-pitched beeps).

• “EMERGENCY” flashes in the display if the radio is not in stealth mode.

• When the emergency talk group is selected, an asterisk (*) follows its name in the top line of the

display. The asterisk identifies the selected talk group is in an emergency state. Some radios may be

programmed by the system or network administration personnel to flash the Emergency button (red)

when an emergency call is received. This occurs only if the radio is not in stealth mode.

• If scan mode is set to “No Scan” and the emergency was declared on the selected talk group, audio on

the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset. See page 28 for additional information on

“No Scan” operation. Also see the following NOTE.

• If scan mode is set to “No Scan” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the

selected talk group, the emergency talk group (identified by an “*”) must be selected before audio on

it is heard in the speaker/headset.

• If scan mode is set to “Normal” and the emergency was declared on the selected talk group, the

selected/emergency talk group’s name remains in the top line of the display. Audio on the emergency

talk group is heard in the speaker/headset.

• If scan mode is set to “Normal” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the

selected talk group, the emergency talk group’s name appears in the bottom line of the display. Audio

on the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset.

• The declaring radio's alias appears in the bottom line of the display when the emergency talk group is

selected.

• An emergency call can be dismissed as described in the following section.

A radio declaring an emergency on a talk group has a “hot” mic time period of typically

ten (10) seconds just after it declares the emergency. This time period may be adjusted

by system or network administration personnel on a per radio basis.

To ignore an emergency call declared by another radio user, dismiss it as follows:

1. Press until “EmgDismiss” appears in the display.

2. Press until the talk group in the emergency state appears, as indicated by an asterisk (*)

following the talk group’s name.

3. Press the MENU button.
