1. ADVANCED OPERATIONS
The Emergency Call function is used when you are in
an urgent situation.
When the function is ON, an Emergency signal is
transmitted to let the other stations and people know
that you require assistance, and an alarm sounds
from the internal speaker.
You can also receive the Emergency signal from other
stations.

for 1 second to enter the Initial Set mode.
2. Repeatedly push [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA]
to select “OK” ([BANK OPT] key).
3. Rotate [DIAL] to select “EMR.”
4. Push [ ] to save and exit the Initial Set mode.
DSetting the Emergency frequency
1. While holding down [SET LOCK], hold down [ ]
for 1 second to enter the Initial Set mode.
2. Repeatedly push [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA]
to select “EM” (Emergency channel).
3. Rotate [DIAL] to select a channel.
LEmpty channels will not be displayed.
4. Push [ ] to save and exit the Initial Set mode.
DSetting the Emergency alert volume
1. While holding down [SET LOCK], hold down [ ]
for 1 second to enter the Initial Set mode.
2. Repeatedly push [SET LOCK] or [MONI ANM PA]
to select “EV” (Emergency Alert volume).

The S/RF indicator is displayed.
The Memory icon, Skip icon, and Memory channel
number display will follow the channel set as the
Emergency frequency.
DUsing the Emergency Call function
IMPORTANT: When another function is assigned to
[BANK OPT], the Emergency Call function cannot be
used.
1. Confirm that no Emergency signal is being received.
2. Hold down [BANK OPT] for 3 seconds until 6 short
countdown beeps and 1 long beep sound.
• The channel will change to the one set as an
Emergency frequency, and an Emergency signal will
be transmitted.
• An Emergency alert sounds at the level set in the
Emergency alert volume setting.
LThe alert and transmitting the signal last for 10 seconds.
3. After transmitting the Emergency signal, the
audio from the surrounding area is automatically
transmitted for 10 seconds, and you can explain
your situation.
4. Wait for an answer signal.
LYou can also transmit an audio signal by holding
down [PTT].
LAfter 5 seconds have passed since receiving the
signal, or no signal is received for 10 seconds,
the transceiver will sound an Emergency alert and
transmit an Emergency signal again.
NOTE: The countdown beeps and the long beep,
the Emergency alert, and the received answer signal
come from the internal speaker, speaker jack, or
both, depends on the setting of AF output selection.
See 8-8 for details.
TIP:
When the function is turned ON:
• All keys cannot be used except for [ ] and
[BANK OPT].
• The output power level is automatically set to
“High.” (When the function is turned OFF, it will be
set back to the original power level.)
• The Weather Alert function will be turned OFF.
• When “MIN” is selected in the Emergency alert
volume setting, the countdown beeps and the long
beep, and the Emergency alert will not sound.
The Emergency signal cannot be transmitted when:
• The Emergency frequency is out of the selected
amateur radio band.
• The transmission is inhibited due to high internal
temperatures.
The Emergency signal can be transmitted, even if:
• The TX Inhibit setting is set to “Inhibit.”
• The Repeater Lockout function is turned ON.
• The Time-out timer function is turned ON.
To turn OFF the Emergency Call function:
• Hold down [BANK OPT] for 3 seconds again.
• Turn OFF the transceiver, and then turn it ON again.

short countdown beeps and 1 long beep sound.
• The channel will change to the one set as an
Emergency frequency, and an Emergency signal will
be transmitted.
• An Emergency alert sounds at the level set in the
Emergency alert volume setting.
LThe alert and transmitting the signal last for 10 seconds.
3. After transmitting the Emergency signal, the

come from the internal speaker, speaker jack, or
both, depends on the setting of AF output selection.
See 8-8 for details.
DReceiving an Emergency signal
When an Emergency signal is received:
• The received Emergency signal will sound at the
level set in the Emergency alert volume setting.
• The function display blinks.
• If a scan is activated, it will stop.
• If the Priority watch is activated, it will stop in the
operating mode that the signal is received.
zAfter receiving the signal, you can transmit an
answer by holding down [PTT].
NOTE: Even if another function is assigned to
[BANK OPT], the transceiver will receive an
Emergency alert. However, the volume level will not
change, and the function display will not blink.
TIP:
• When “MIN” is selected in the Emergency alert
volume setting, the received Emergency signal will
not sound.
• The Weather Alert function keeps being turned
ON, even if an Emergency signal is received.
• If any operation is performed while receiving the
signal, the volume level will be set back to the
original level, and the function display blinking will
be stopped.
For the next 10 minutes, the volume level will not
be changed, even if the signal is received again.
Only the function display will blink.

shifted from the receive frequency by a frequency
offset.
A Repeater can be accessed using the Duplex
function by setting the transceiver’s offset to the same
value as the Repeater’s offset.

5. Push [CLR A MW] to save and exit the Set mode.
DTone information
Some repeaters require a different tone system to be
accessed.
DTMF codes
You can enter and transmit a DTMF code or manually
transmit a DTMF tone.
See pages 6-2 and 6-4 for details.
DTCS codes
The DTCS encoder superimposes the selected DTCS
code over your transmitted signal.
See page 7-8 for details.
LSee the CTCSS tone or DTCS code. (p. 7-2)
NOTE:
• If you do not know the subaudible tone or DTCS
code used for a repeater, the tone scan is
convenient for detecting it. See page 7-7 for
details.
• The subaudible tone frequency can be temporarily
set in a Memory or Call channel. However,
when another Memory channel or VFO mode is
selected, the set frequency is deleted. To save the
tone frequency, overwrite the channel setting.
