The “Emergency” feature is activated by press and holding the [HM/RV] key for one
second.
When this is done, (A) the radio is placed on the UHF amateur band Home channel, (B)
it emits a loud “Alarm” sound (the volume is controlled by the VOL knob), (C) it flashes
the TX/BUSY indicator in white, (D) if you press the PTT key, you will disable the
Emergency feature temporarily; you can then transmit on the UHF Home channel, and
(E) two seconds after the PTT release, the Emergency feature will resume.
To disable the “Emergency” feature, press and hold the [HM/RV] key for one second or
turn the radio Off by pressing and holding in the [PWR] switch for one second.

Use this feature if you are out for a walk and want a quick way of alerting a family
member as to a dangerous situation. The alarm sound may discourage an attacker and
allow you to escape.

R.F. Says:

 1) Be sure to arrange with a friend or family member to be monitoring on the

same frequency, as there will be no identification sent via the Emergency alarm sound.
And do not transmit the alarm tone except in a true emergency!
2) The TX/BUSY indicator may be changed to another function via Set Mode Item 42:
EMG S; see page xx.
