Your Service Provider needs to configure the Emergency
Alarm and Hot Microphone features.
Emergency calls are allocated emergency priority in the
system.
Entering or Exiting Emergency Mode
To enter Emergency Mode, press and hold the Emergency
button.
Pressing the Emergency button even if Transmit Inhibit is activated
causes immediately the CM5000 to transmit. When entering Emergency
Operation the CM5000 should not be within the RF sensitive area any
longer!
To exit Emergency Mode, press and hold Exit. Your terminal
switches to the Home display.
Hot Microphone Feature
If the Hot Microphone feature was programmed into the
CM5000 by your Service Provider, you are enabled to make
an Emergency Group Call and talk to the dispatcher (and
members of your group) without the need to press and hold
the PTT.
The microphone stays open for a time period (programmed
by your Service Provider). The microphone stays open until:
•
the Hot microphone time period expires.
•
you press the On-Hook key.
At the end of the Hot Microphone the CM5000 returns to the
Emergency Mode. The Hot Microphone feature is disabled
and PTT operation returns to normal.
If required you can resume Hot Microphone by pressing and
holding the Emergency button again.
Making an Emergency Group Call
To initiate or answer a call while in Emergency Mode:
•
Press and hold PTT.
•
Wait for the talk permit tone (if configured) and talk.
•
