Sending an Emergency Alarm with Voice to
Follow
This feature allows you to send an Emergency Alarm to a group
of radios. Your radio’s microphone is automatically activated,
allowing you to communicate with the group of radios without
pressing the PTT button.
This activated microphone state is also known as “hot mic”.
NOTE: Some accessories may not support “hot mic”. Check
with your dealer or system administrator for more
information.
If you press the PTT button during the programmed hot mic
transmission period, the radio ignores the PTT press and
remains in Emergency mode.
NOTE: If you press the PTT button during hot mic, and
continue to press it after the hot mic duration expires,
the radio continues to transmit until you release the
PTT button.
Procedure:
1 Press the programmed Emergency On button.
2 The LED lights up solid green.
3 Once a tone sounds, speak clearly into the microphone.
When hot mic has been enabled, the radio automatically
transmits without a PTT press until the hot mic duration
expires.
While transmitting, the LED lights up solid green.
4 The radio automatically stops transmitting when:
Once the cycling duration between hot mic and receiving
calls expires, if Emergency Cycle Mode is enabled.
OR
Once the hot mic duration expires, if Emergency Cycle
Mode is disabled.
5 To transmit again, press the PTT button.
OR
Press the programmed Emergency Off button to exit the
Emergency mode.
If your radio is set to Silent, it will not display any audio or visual
indicators during Emergency mode, or allow any received calls
to sound through the radio’s speaker, until the programmed hot
mic transmission period is over, and you press the PTT button.
If your radio is set to Silent with Voice, it will not display any
audio or visual indicators during Emergency mode when you
are making the call with hot mic, but allow sound through the
radio’s speaker when the target radio responds after the
programmed hot mic transmission period is over. The indicators
will only appear when you press the PTT button.
NOTE: If the Emergency Alarm request fails, the radio does
not retry to send the request, and enters the hot mic
state directly.
