DEFINITIONS:

Alarm Only

Upon an Emergency button-press, transmits an Emergency Alarm packet to the dispatcher.

Alarm & Call

Upon an Emergency button-press, once the Emergency Alarm sequence has been acknowledged or retries have been exhausted (see the above "Alarm Only"), the radio enters into Emergency Call mode (see the above "Call Only").
