Emergency Alert

What it Does:

Allows users to send a distress signal and potentially transmit critical information to designated emergency contacts or dispatch.

Activation:

The Emergency Alert can be triggered in two ways:

  • Manually: Similar to the Emergency Button, users can activate it through a dedicated button or programmable function on the radio.
  • Automatically: In some configurations, the Emergency Alert can be linked to other features like Lone Worker. If the user fails to perform a check-in within a pre-defined timeframe (Lone Worker feature), the radio can automatically initiate an Emergency Alert.

Emergency Response Sequence:

Upon activation, the radio initiates a pre-programmed communication sequence, which can include:

  • Sending a pre-recorded message: This pre-recorded audio message can convey a specific emergency type (medical emergency, security breach, etc.) or a generic distress call.
  • Text notification: Sending a text message alert to designated contacts or dispatch, potentially including a brief description of the emergency.
  • Voice call: Initiating a voice call to pre-programmed emergency contacts, allowing for real-time communication and detailed information exchange.
  • GPS location data transmission (optional): If GPS is enabled and supported on the radio model, the Emergency Alert can transmit the user's location data to emergency responders, aiding in faster assistance.

Benefits:

  • Versatile Emergency Communication: Offers multiple options for transmitting emergency information depending on the situation and urgency.
  • Improved Response Coordination: Allows for clear communication of the emergency type and potentially the user's location, facilitating a more coordinated response.
  • Increased Efficiency: Automates emergency notification in situations where manual activation might be delayed (Lone Worker feature).
