6.29.2 Silent Emergency
When this feature is enabled and an emergency call or alert is declared by pressing the emergency button,
the radio will not play a tone and will display an abbreviated emergency message (default is EBA). This
feature is enabled or disabled via programming or via the menu.
If the Silent Emergency feature is enabled or disabled via programming, the setting will
survive power cycle. Enable/Disable selection via the menu will NOT survive power cycle
and the enable/disable state will revert to the programmed setting at power up.
6.29.3 Clearing an Emergency Call or Alert
Check with the system administrator to ensure that the radio is programmed to allow an
emergency to be cleared.
If enabled via programming, clear an emergency by:
1. Pressing and holding the CLR/CLEAR button and simultaneously pressing the emergency button
2. Release both buttons.
6.29.4 Receiving an Emergency Call
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 receiving voice in an
active emergency, the flashing “EMERGENCY” is inhibited so that the alias of the sender can be
seen.
•
On receiving radios with the emergency talk group selected, the alias of the sending party is displayed
for 5 seconds during the open-mic period, then the word “Emergency” flashes on the second line of
the display and continues until the emergency state ends.
•
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 29 for additional information on
“No Scan” operation.
•
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.
