Tait TM8250 Operator's Manual - Dialling An Emergency Call

102 Operating in MPT trunked mode

Dialling an emergency call

This feature is only available for radios with alphanumeric 

keys.

1

Dial *9.

2

Press Send or the 

 or 

PTT key.

An emergency call is now sent to 

the emergency location that has 

been programmed for your radio.

If you wish to send an emergency call to another radio, you 

may be able to dial *9*n then press the 

 or PTT key. In 

this case, n is the radio unit number you wish to send the 

emergency call to and may be a two- or three-digit number.

Activating emergency mode

You can activate emergency mode using a function key 

programmed for emergency mode. Alternatively, you may be 

able to activate emergency mode using a hidden switch or 

panic button. Once emergency mode is activated, your radio 

makes an emergency call to your dispatcher or some other 

predetermined location. The radio then enters 

emergency mode.

While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle 

between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher can 

hear any activity near the radio.

Cancelling emergency mode

Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by turning 

the radio off and then on.

Emergency mode may be programmed to end after a fixed 

period of time. In this case, there is no need to turn the radio 

off and then on in order to return the radio to normal 

operation.
