3.6.7 Hot Microphone
Your service provider can disable the Emergency Alarm feature.
3.6.7 Hot Microphone
The Hot Microphone allows you to talk without pressing the
PTT
button on entering the Emergency Mode. The
transmission continues for a provisioned amount of time.
This feature can be enabled for the Private Emergency Call.
Pressing the
PTT
button before the Hot Microphone time expires ends the transmission. Then normal
PTT
operation
takes over (that is, the transition is ongoing for the time the
PTT
button is held). Subsequent
EMERGENCY
button
presses during the Emergency Mode initiates the Hot Microphone transmission again.
If a talk permit is granted to another member of the group, the Emergency Call received tone is played. If configured,
the radio automatically attempts to get talk permit again.
3.6.8 Alternating Hot Microphone
The Alternating Hot Microphone is an enhancement of the Hot Microphone feature. It allows you to have the Hot
Microphone switched on and off alternately.
If this feature is enabled, you can initiate the Alternating Hot Microphone by pressing the
EMERGENCY
button.
The Alternating Hot Microphone terminates when one of the following conditions is met:
• The radio exits the Emergency Mode.
• The Alternating Hot Microphone timer expires.
• The
PTT
button is pressed.
•
End
SOFT
key is pressed (only during transmission time slot).
To skip your transmission time slot and jump to a receiving time slot, press
END
key.
When the radio goes out of the service, it enters the receiving mode and the Alternating Hot Microphone
is on hold. When the radio is back to the service, the Hot Microphone transmission and the Alternating
Hot Microphone resume.
When the user is in the Emergency Mode, pressing
EMERGENCY
button restarts the Alternating Hot
Microphone.
