Tait TP8110 User Manual - Making An Emergency Call

48

Making an emergency call

You may be able to activate emergency mode by using an 

assigned function key. The emergency function key may be 

programmed for either a short key press or long key press.

1

Press the assigned function key and an emergency call is sent 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. For your safety, the radio displays no signs that an 

emergency call has been made.

When the radio is in emergency cycling mode, the transmitted 

audio is always from the radio’s internal microphone, regardless of 

whether an external speaker-microphone is installed.

2

Reset the radio to normal operation at any time by 

turning the radio off and then on.

Alternatively, emergency mode may be programmed to end 

after a fixed period of time, or your dispatcher may reset your 

radio to normal operation.

Using a double key press

To avoid accidental use of the emergency function, the emergency 

call may have been programmed with a ‘double keypress 

activation’ option. The double keypress activation option is 

programmed to be used with either a short or long press.

To make an emergency call using a double short press:

■

Short press the assigned function key twice within 

three seconds. 

To make an emergency call using a double long press:

■

Long press the assigned function key twice within five seconds.
