Tait TM8250 Operator's Manual - Making An Emergency Call
60 Operating in conventional mode
Making an emergency call
You may be able to activate emergency mode by using a
programmed function key.
1
Press the function key programmed for Emergency Mode
and an emergency call is sent to your dispatcher, or some
other predetermined location.
While emergency mode is active, your radio may cycle
between receive and transmit, so that your dispatcher
can hear any activity near the radio. Alternatively, your
radio may appear to turn off but will actually remain in
emergency mode.
2
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.
Sending a status message
Your radio may be able to maintain a record of your current
status. This status may be sent with outgoing calls
programmed to contain status information. If the radio
receiving your message has been programmed with the same
status messages, it will decode and display your message.
The message indicates your current activity or location, such
as “en route” or “at lunch”.
To change you current status:
1
Select Menu>Set status.
