Emergency Operation
There are two ways in declaring or canceling an Emergency.
You can declare or cancel an Emergency locally by pressing the Emergency button.
You can also declare or cancel an Emergency remotely by an authorized user through WAVE APP or a
dispatcher.
When Emergency is declared and radio enters into Emergency mode successfully, your radio shows
that it is in emergency. When the display flashes the Emergency icon, you are only allowed to view the
volume control, make an emergency call, and exit the emergency mode.
During the Emergency mode, any call launched is declared as Emergency Call and certain features
like changing a talkgroup is restricted.
Depending on your configuration, there are two types of emergency call initiation. For manual type,
when an Emergency call is initiated, the Emergency Alert is sent, you need to press and hold the PTT
button to initiate emergency call. For automatic type, when an Emergency call is initiated, both alert is
sent and an emergency call is initiated without the need to press and hold the PTT button. Your radio
microphone is automatically activated for 10 s and stop transmitting when the duration expires.
