Lone Worker

This feature prompts an emergency to be raised if there is no
user activity, such as any radio button press or activation of the
channel selector, for a predefined time.

Following no user activity for a programmed duration, the radio
pre-warns the user via an audio indicator once the inactivity
timer expires.

If there is still no acknowledgment by the user before the
predefined reminder timer expires, the radio initiates an
Emergency Alarm.

Only one of the following Emergency Alarms is assigned to this
feature:

Emergency Alarm

Emergency Alarm with Call

Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow

The radio remains in the emergency state allowing voice
messages to proceed until action is taken. See Emergency
Operation
on page 36 on
ways to exit Emergency.

NOTE: This feature is limited to radios with this function

enabled. Check with your dealer or system
administrator for more information.
