Emergency Alarm Rx Indicator Type |
(Emergency Wide, General) |
Selects the type of notification that the radio-user hears and or sees when an Emergency alarm is received from another radio. This feature must also be enabled (when appropriate) for the Individual MDC System or ASTRO System from the Emergency Alarm Rx Indicator field, or for the Trunking System from the Emergency Alarm Rx Indicator field. This selection applies while operating in Emergency Mode for both Conventional and Trunking communications.
|
The Emergency Alarm Rx Indicator time lasts for 10 seconds. During these 10 seconds, the radio-user can deactivate the indicator by pressing any of the radio's buttons except "volume" and "light". |
|
Once the indicator clears or is cleared, retried emergency alarms from the same MDC Primary ID, or ASTRO System Individual ID, or Trunking Unit ID are ignored for the next 20 seconds. |
|
Emergency alarms are not detected while the radio is in scan mode. |
|
Emergency alarms are not detected while the radio is active on a voice channel. |
