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.
n 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.
Operating any key will reset the timer.
Press the key programmed as
Lone Worker to toggle the Lone Worker
function ON or OFF.
• Depending on the delay time programmed into your transceiver, the length of time
you must hold the Lone Worker key will vary.

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 icon appears on the display while Talk Around is activated.
Voice ScrAmbler
Note:
u Your dealer can activate the built-in scrambler function, or they can add a more secure optional
scrambler board to your transceiver. Ask your dealer for details.
u This function cannot be used in certain countries. Contact your Kenwood dealer for further
information.
The built-in scrambler prevents others from easily listening in on your calls. When
activated, the transceiver distorts your voice so that anybody listening to your
conversation will not be able to clearly hear what you are saying.
