the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset. See Section 5.13 for additional information
on “No Scan” operation.

selected talk group, the emergency talk group (identified by an “*”) must be selected before audio on
it is heard in the speaker/headset.
• If scan mode is set to “Normal” and the emergency was declared on the selected talk group, the
selected/emergency talk group’s name remains in the top line of the display. Audio on the emergency
talk group is heard in the speaker/headset.
