Technical Background. Capabilities The “Emergency Button” feature, if it is programmed into the subscribing agency radios, will allow a radio user to send an emergency notification by pressing the specific Emergency Button on the radio. The notifications will audibly and visually alert all dispatch console positions that have the talk group up that the emergency notification is routed to. Other radios that have the talk group selected will also receive the emergency notification, and display the radio ID of the radio generating the emergency. The display of an ID is dependent upon radio model, firmware version, and purchased options. The user activating the Emergency Button has the obligation to properly cancel the activation by pushing – and holding the Emergency Button until a continuous tone sounds. Failure to properly cancel the alarm on the originating radio will cause a new alarm activation each time the user transmits. Emergency calls are also automatically assigned the highest priority available and would be the first available from the queue if the system is in a busy situation. Subscriber’s radios can optionally be configured to automatically activate the Push-to-Talk (PTT) for a programmed period of time if the Emergency Button is pressed.
