Emergency Type

(Conventional Emergency Profiles, General)

Selects the desired radio functionality that occurs when emergency mode is radio-user initiated. This selection applies for the current Conventional Emergency Profile.

	Both selections support Emergency Revert Channel, that is, transmitting emergency on a predetermined channel.
	Once the radio has begun Emergency Call operation, only a radio-user long-press of the emergency button (see the Long Keypress Duration for Emergency field) or a radio power-down ceases this functionality.
