EMERGENCY CALLS If your transceiver has been programmed with the Emergency function, you can make emergency calls. 1 Press and hold the key programmed as [Emergency]. • Depending on the delay time programmed into your transceiver, the length of time you must hold the Emergency key will vary. • When the transceiver enters Emergency mode, the transceiver will change to the Emergency channel and begin transmitting based on how the transceiver is set up. 2 To exit Emergency mode, press and hold the [Emergency] key again. • If the Emergency mode completes the preset number of cycles, Emergency mode will automatically end and the transceiver will return to normal. ■ Lone Worker Mode Lone Worker Mode is a safety feature built into the transceiver. If the transceiver is not operated for a pre-programmed period of time, the transceiver will emit a tone and automatically enter Emergency operation. Press and hold the key programmed as [Lone Worker] for 2 seconds to toggle the Lone Worker function ON or OFF. TALK AROUND During interruptions in service (such as a power failure), you can continue to communicate by using the Talk Around feature. Talk Around allows you to communicate directly with other transceivers without the use of a repeater, as long they are not too far away or there are no geographical obstacles in the way. Press the key programmed as [Talk Around] to toggle the Talk Around function ON or OFF. • The indicator appears while Talk Around is activated. 23
