alternate between the emergency talk group name and “EMERGENCY” to indicate that the
emergency has been initiated.
2. The microphone is hot (open mic) for a programmed amount of time in order to send your voice out
on the emergency talk group. All of the radios in the emergency talk group hear your call and see the
emergency talk group displayed on their radio.
If the attempt is unsuccessful, “E-PEND” flashes periodically and a retry is queued for 10 seconds. If
unsuccessful because of lost sync, retry occurs immediately upon reacquiring sync. On each retry attempt,
radio temporarily displays “E-RETRY.” This process repeats until the emergency is successfully
declared.
8.27.2 Receive an Emergency Call
Initially, when receiving an emergency call, the radio sounds the emergency tone (three short high-
pitched tones).
The radio will flash “EMERGENCY” and display the alias of the user that triggered the emergency or the
alias of the talk group (if the incoming talk group is the selected talk group of the receiving radio). When
receiving voice in an active emergency, the flashing “EMERGENCY” is inhibited so that the alias of the
sender can be seen.
With “No Scan,” only the emergency tone is heard, not the initial open mic transmission.
To dismiss or ignore the emergency, refer to Section 8.27.3.
8.27.3 Dismiss an Emergency
The “Dismissing an Emergency” function allows you to “ignore” an emergency declared by another user.
An emergency is dismissed for a configurable amount of time (default = 5 minutes).
1. After receiving an emergency call, press the or button until you see “EmgDismiss.”
2. Press the to toggle “<” on (dismiss) and off. This works in similar fashion to the lock out menu.
The emergency dismiss timer is cleared when the emergency is cleared.
8.27.4 Clear an Emergency
Check with your system administrator to ensure that your radio is configured with the
ability to clear an emergency.
To clear the emergency, first press and hold the button. While continuing to hold the button, press
the EMERGENCY button. Release both buttons when the Emergency Cleared Tone sounds.
If the radio is in stealth mode, clearing the emergency will cause the radio to exit stealth
mode.
