FT-257 OperaTing Manual 37
The
FT-257
includes an “Emergency” feature which may be useful if you have some-
one monitoring on the same frequency as your transceivers “Home” channel. See page
23 for details on setting up the Home channel.
The “Emergency” feature is activated by pressing and holding in the
[
SET/ATS
]
key for
one second. When this is done, (A) the radio is placed on the Home channel, (B) it emits
a loud “Alarm” sound, (C) it ashes the LCD lamp, (D) if you press the
PTT
switch,
you will disable the Emergency feature temporarily; you can then transmit on the Home
channel, and (E) two seconds after the
PTT
switch release, the Emergency feature will
resume.
To disable the “Emergency” feature, press the
[
F/MW
]
key momentarily or turn the ra-
dio off by pressing the
[
POWER
(
)]
key.
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.
1) Be sure to arrange with a friend or family member to be monitoring on the same
frequency, as there will be no identication sent via the Emergency alarm sound.
Do not transmit the alarm tone except in a true emergency!
2) The “Emergency” feature may be changed to another function via Set Mode Item
19: EMG S; see page 55 for details.
