4 While transmitting, the green LED lights up and the
Emergency icon appears on the display.
5 Once the hot mic duration expires, the radio automatically
stops transmitting. To transmit again, press the PTT button.
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.
Reinitiating an Emergency Mode
NOTE: This feature is only applicable to the radio sending the
Emergency Alarm.
There are two instances where this can happen:
• You change the channel while the radio is in Emergency
mode. This exits the Emergency mode. If Emergency Alarm is
enabled on this new channel, the radio reinitiates Emergency.
• You press the programmed Emergency On button during an
Emergency initiation/transmission state. This causes the
radio to exit this state, and to reinitiate Emergency.
Exiting Emergency Mode
NOTE: This feature is only applicable to the radio sending the
Emergency Alarm.
Your radio exits Emergency mode when one of the following
occurs:
• Emergency Alarm acknowledgement is received (for
Emergency Alarm only), OR
• All retries to send the alarm have been exhausted, OR
• The Emergency Off button is pressed.
NOTE: If your radio is powered off, it exits the Emergency
mode. The radio will not reinitiate the Emergency mode
automatically when it is turned on again.
