EMERGENCY CALLS
If your transceiver has been programmed with the Emergency
function, you can make emergency calls.
1 Press and hold the key programmed as [Emergency].
Depending on the delay time programmed into your
transceiver, the length of time you must hold the Emergency
key will vary.
When the transceiver enters Emergency mode, the transceiver
will change to the Emergency channel and begin transmitting
based on how the transceiver is set up.
2 To exit Emergency mode, press and hold the [Emergency]
key again.
If the Emergency mode completes the preset number of cycles,
Emergency mode will automatically end and the transceiver
will return to normal.
Lone Worker Mode
Lone Worker Mode is a safety feature built into the
transceiver. If the transceiver is not operated for a
pre-programmed period of time, the transceiver will emit a
tone and automatically enter Emergency operation.
Press and hold the key programmed as [Lone Worker] for
2 seconds to toggle the Lone Worker function ON or OFF.
TALK AROUND
During interruptions in service (such as a power failure), you
can continue to communicate by using the Talk Around feature.
Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other
transceivers without the use of a repeater, as long as they are
not too far away or there are no geographical obstacles in the
way.
Press the key programmed as [Talk Around] to toggle the
Talk Around function ON or OFF.
The indicator appears while Talk Around is activated.
