16 COMMUNICATIONS IN AN EMERGENCY
16.6 Placing the Transceiver Automatically in Emergency Mode
Configuration
Lone Worker Mode can be enabled or disabled by a user pressing the Lone Worker key.
A user can transmit and receive using the transceiver in the same manner as normal even if the transceiver enters
Lone Worker Mode and while the time configured for Lone Worker Interval is counting down.
Normal
The status of Lone Worker Mode, either enabled or disabled by a user pressing the Lone Worker key, is retained in
the transceiver. The status of Lone Worker Mode, either enabled or disabled, is also retained in the transceiver even
if the channel or GID is changed or the transceiver is turned ON or OFF.
Lone Worker Mode can be enabled or disabled by a user pressing the Lone Worker key.
A user cannot transmit and receive using the transceiver while a timer for Lone Worker Interval is counting down
after the transceiver enters Lone Worker Mode.
Only the following PF keys can be used while the transceiver is in Lone Worker Mode:
• Lone Worker key
• Emergency key
Transmit/
• Function key
Receive Inhibit
• Backlight key (NX-200/ NX-210/ NX-300/ NX-410/ NX-411)
• LCD Brightness key (Mobile)
The status of Lone Worker Mode, either enabled or disabled by a user pressing the Lone Worker key, is retained in
the transceiver. The status of Lone Worker Mode, either enabled or disabled, is also retained in the transceiver even
if the channel or GID is changed or the transceiver is turned ON or OFF.
If a channel or GID is selected, Lone Worker Mode is enabled or disabled depending on the configuration for Lone
Worker Mode for the selected channel or GID.
Lone Worker Mode can also be enabled or disabled by a user pressing the Lone Worker key.
Preset A user can transmit and receive using the transceiver in the same manner as normal even if the transceiver enters
Lone Worker Mode and while the time configured for Lone Worker Interval is counting down.
The status of Lone Worker Mode, either enabled or disabled by a user pressing the Lone Worker key, is not
retained in the transceiver.
Lone Worker Type can be configured using KPG-111D/ DN depending on the usage of the transceiver. The transceiver's
behavior varies as below depending on the configuration for Lone Worker Type.
Transceiver Behavior
Toggling the Lone Worker Mode between enabled and disabled when a
channel or GID is changed
Toggling the Lone Worker Mode between enabled and disabled by a user
pressing the Lone Worker key
Retaining the status of Lone Worker Mode, either enabled or disabled, in the
transceiver
Transmitting and receiving by operating the transceiver in the same manner
as normal mode
Yes: Available
No: Unavailable
Note
The transceiver does not transmit by a user pressing the PTT switch while the Lone Worker Tone continuously sounds from the
transceiver even if "Normal" or "Preset" is configured for the Lone Worker Type. Also, this function cannot be activated even if a PF key
is pressed. In this case, a timer for Lone Worker Interval is reset and then restarts counting down from the beginning. However,
pressing and holding the Emergency key for longer than the time configured for Emergency-key Delay Time results in the transceiver
entering Emergency Mode.
