Emergency Mode
You can send and receive Emergency Group Calls in Tr u n k e d  
Mode or in Direct Mode. If your terminal is configured to operate 
through a gateway, Emergency calls can be placed through the 
gateway.
You can initiate an Emergency Group Call to and receive it from:
• selected group (TMO and DMO) (if tactical emergency)
• pre-defined group (if non-tactical emergency). 
Contact your Service Provider to know which is the selected mode.
Your Service Provider will configure the Emergency Alarm and Hot 
Microphone features.
Emergency calls will be allocated emergency priority in the system. 
Entering or Exiting Emergency Mode
To enter Emergency Mode, press and hold the Emergency button 
at the top of the MTP850.
To exit Emergency Mode, press and hold Exit. Your terminal will 
switch to the Home display.
Sending an Emergency Alarm
Your MTP850 will send an Emergency Alarm to the dispatcher (if 
configured by your Service Provider):
• Automatically, upon entering Emergency Mode.
• If you press the Emergency button again while the MTP850 is in 
Emergency Mode.
After sending the alarm, the display will show one of the following 
delivery reports:
• Alarm Sent
• Alarm Failed
The required time you need to press the Emergency button is set to 
default to 0.5 seconds. The time can be configured by your Service 
Provider.
Pressing the Emergency button activates one or more services. 
Contact Service Provider for more information.

In both cases, the display returns within a few seconds to the main 
screen of the Emergency Mode.
Due to no delivery confirmation in DMO, Alarm Sent information 
confirms only sending the alarm.
Hot Microphone Feature
If the Hot Microphone feature was programmed into your MTP850 
by your Service Provider, you can make an Emergency Group Call 
and talk to the dispatcher (and members of your group) without the 
need to press and hold the PTT.
The microphone will stay open for a time period (programmed by 
your Service Provider). The microphone will stay open until:
• the Hot microphone time period expires
• you press PTT during the Hot Microphone period
• you press the End key
At the end of the Hot Microphone the Emgcy Mic Ended message 
will be displayed and the MTP850 returns to the Emergency Mode. 
The Hot Microphone feature is disabled and PTT operation returns 
to normal.
If required you can resume Hot Microphone by pressing the 
Emergency button again.
The Emergency Alarm is a special status message sent to the 
dispatcher monitoring the selected group. This can be used in 
dispatch systems to highlight emergency calls.
Some systems do not support the Emergency Alarm feature when 
the user is in a “Local Area Service” area.
Pressing the Emergency button, even if Transmit 
Inhibit is activated, causes the MTP850 to trans-
mit immediately. The MTP850 must NOT be 
within the RF sensitive area when entering Emer-
gency Mode.
Hot Microphone feature is available in DMO and TMO mode.

point can interrupt. Menu key gives more choices (display on the 
right).
• Information phase - user is still in the call-out mode and he can 
receive more detail information about the incident that occurred 
via subsequent text or the voice message. The user can query
