VX-8GR/GE OPERATING MANUAL 95
EMERGENCY CHANNEL OPERATION
The VX-8GR/GE includes an “Emergency” feature, which may be useful if you have
someone monitoring on the same frequency as your transceivers UHF “Home” channel.
See page 45 for details on setting the Home channel.
The “Emergency” feature is activated by pressing and holding in the h 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 rotating the DIAL knob while
pressing and holding the g key), (C) it flashes the LED light in white, (D) if you press
the PTT switch, you will disable the Emergency feature temporarily. You can then trans-
mit on the UHF Home channel, and (E) two seconds after the PTT switch is released, the
Emergency feature will resume.
To disable the “Emergency” feature, press and hold the h key for one second or turn the
radio Off by pressing and holding in the
p
(
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 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 identification sent via the Emergency
alarm sound. And do not transmit the alarm tone except in a true emergency!
2) The LED light may be changed to another function via Set Mode Item 29: EMER-
GENCY SELECT; see page 134.
