COMMUNICATIONS IN AN EMERGENCY
Emergency is the function to be used for the transceiver to transmit and receive for emergency purposes. This function is
used for a user to immediately contact the base station in emergency situations.
The transceiver behaves according to the configurations in Emergency Mode when the transceiver is placed in Emergency
Mode. The base station transceiver can notice an occurrence of an emergency situation in the transmitting transceiver
upon receipt of a call by use of Emergency.
Pressing and holding the Emergency key for longer than the time configured for Emergency-key Delay Time causes the
transceiver to enter Emergency Mode. (Refer to
If the transceiver is equipped with a Man-down tilt switch, the transceiver enters Emergency Mode when the time
configured for Man-down Delay Time elapses after the Man-down tilt switch is activated. (Refer to

Interval elapses in Lone Worker Mode and then the time configured for Duration of Lone Worker Tone elapses. The Lone
Worker Tone sounds from the transceiver for the time configured for Duration of Lone Worker Tone. (Refer to
