Exiting the Emergency State
It is important that you exit the emergency state when you have finished.
There are four ways to exit the emergency state:
1. Press the Emergency Button for approximately 1 second (this time is
programmable through radio service software); a medium-pitched,
emergency-exit tone sounds until the button is released and the radio
returns to normal operation.
2. Radios programmed with emergency alarm — the emergency alarm state
may be exited by pressing the PTT Switch. The alarm will be canceled
(without an emergency-exit tone), and you may begin transmitting your
voice call.
3. On radios equipped with emergency alarm with call — pressing the PTT
Switch while the radio is in emergency-alarm operation will place the
radio in emergency-call operation.
4. Radios programmed with emergency alarm only — the emergency state is
automatically exited upon reception of an acknowledgment from the
dispatcher or if the alarms are exhausted when no acknowledgment is
received. This method applies to non-silent emergency alarm radios.
If you have a silent-emergency alarm radio, use method 1, 2, or 3
to exit the emergency alarm state.
Emergency Keep-Alive
When this feature is enabled, moving the On/Off Control Knob to the off
position will not turn your radio off if it is in an emergency state. Your radio
will continue normal emergency operation as if the power is on. The radio will
not turn power off until it exits the emergency state.
