No additional Auto Transmit functionality is selected.

Hot Mic Emergency

Once emergency mode has been radio-user initiated with an Emergency button-press, after only one emergency alarm impolite transmission, this selection causes the radio to automatically key-up and transmit an emergency Call (see Emergency Type). The radio transmits with its microphone remaining automatically unmuted / open for the time selected by the Hot Mic Tx Period field. The radio is then in normal emergency Call mode. This is also known as Emergency with Voice to Follow.

When the Long Keypress for Emergency field is not set to "0", the Emergency Call Mode is exited with a long-keypress of the Emergency button.

The settings of Polite Retries / Impolite Retries are ignored when entering the Hot Mic state. Once Hot Mic or the emergency call state is exited, the values of the Polite Retries / Impolite Retries fields are restored to the profile / radio channel.

Available for: ASTRO and MDC - Conventional Systems.

	The Emergency Type field for the current profile must be set to "Alarm and Call" or this selection becomes invalid.
	Conventional Personalities using Hot Mic should have their transmit Time Out Timer set to a value greater than Hot Mic Tx Period; otherwise the Hot Mic transmission aborts when the Time Out Timer expires.

Emergency via Silent Audio

Once emergency mode has been radio-user initiated with an Emergency button-press, after only one emergency alarm impolite transmission, this selection causes the radio to automatically key-up into emergency mode with its microphone remaining muted / closed. This transmission continues for the amount of time specified in the Silent Audio Tx Period field. The radio is then in normal emergency Call mode.

When the Long Keypress for Emergency field is not set to "0", the Emergency Call Mode is exited with a long-keypress of the Emergency button.

The settings of Polite Retries / Impolite Retries are ignored when entering the Silent Audio state. Once Silent Audio or the emergency call state is exited, the values of the Polite Retries / Impolite Retries fields are restored to the profile / radio channel.

Available for: ASTRO - Conventional Systems ONLY.

	The Emergency Type field for the current profile must be set to "Alarm and Call" or this selection becomes invalid.
	Conventional Personalities using this feature should have the Time Out Timer set to a value greater than Silent Audio Tx Period; otherwise the transmission aborts when the Time Out Timer expires.
