7.29.4 Receiving an Emergency Call
Upon receiving an emergency call declared by another radio:
• An emergency tone sounds in the radio’s speaker/headset (three short high-pitched beeps).
• “EMERGENCY” flashes in the display if the radio is not in stealth mode.
• On receiving radios with the emergency talk group selected, the alias of the sending party is displayed
for 5 seconds during the open-mic period, then the word “Emergency” flashes on the second line of
the display and continues until the emergency state ends.
• If scan mode is set to “No Scan” and the emergency was declared on the selected talk group, audio on
the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset. See page 32 for additional information on
“No Scan” operation.
• If scan mode is set to “No Scan” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the
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.
• If scan mode is set to “Normal” and the emergency was declared on a talk group other than the
selected talk group, the emergency talk group’s name appears in the bottom line of the display. Audio
on the emergency talk group is heard in the speaker/headset.
• The declaring radio's alias appears in the bottom line of the display when the emergency talk group is
selected.
• An emergency call can be dismissed as described in the following section.
A radio declaring an emergency on a talk group has a “hot” mic time period of typically
ten (10) seconds just after it declares the emergency. This time period may be adjusted
by system or network administration personnel on a per radio basis.
