2.5.10 EMERGENCY ALARM AND CALL
Introduction
Emergency Alarms and Calls are separate func-
tions that can be individually enabled or disabled on
each SMARTNET/SmartZone system. The Emergency
option switch is also required for these functions, and
it is always the lower button (FCN) on the side when it
is used. Emergency Alarms and Calls are transmitted
on the emergency talk group programmed on the
selected system.
Emergency Alarms
An emergency alarm is a special data transmis-
sion that alerts a dispatcher of an emergency situation.
Proceed as follows to activate an emergency alarm:
1. Select a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel that has
this feature enabled and then press the Emergency
option switch. The radio then begins automatically
transmitting an emergency alarm data message and
“EMERGNCY” is indicated in the display for 3
seconds.
2. When the emergency alarm is acknowledged, the
emergency acknowledge tone (two beeps) sounds.
Silent operation may also be programmed in which
case no tone sounds and there is no indication that
an acknowledgment occurred.
3. The radio continues to transmit this message until an
acknowledgment is received or the programmed
number of attempts have been made. To exit this
mode, power must be turned off and then on again.
