or incidental sounds at your end will be transmitted to the group
for 22 seconds. For the 30 second duration of Emergency Alert
mode, T500/T600 series radio controls and buttons will be
locked to maximize reception of the emergency message.

is no need to continue to hold the Emergency Alert button

After the alert tone ends you may speak into the
microphone. Your voice or incidental sounds will be
transmitted.
After 30 seconds your radio speaker will emit a Talk
Confirmation Tone. Operation then returns to normal
two-way mode.
Note: All Motorola Solutions Talkabout EM, MJ, MR, MT, MU,
T400, T500, and T600 series radios (except for model
T400) are fully compatible with the Emergency Alert
feature. Radios other than EM, MJ, and MR series can
receive the emergency alert signal, but will not respond
with adjusted volume settings, locked controls or a
warbling alert tone. Users of other radio models set to the
same channel and Interference Eliminator Code will hear
a steady tone for 8 seconds followed by the voice
transmission for 22 seconds.
WARNING: The Emergency Alert feature should only be
used in the event of an actual emergency.
Motorola Solutions is not responsible if there is
no response to the emergency alert from the
receiving group.
Use scan to search the 22 channels for transmissions from
unknown parties, to find someone in your group who has
accidentally changed channels or to quickly find unused
channels for your own use.
There is a priority feature and two modes of scanning (basic and
advanced) to make your search more effective. The basic scan
mode uses the channel and code combinations for each of the
22 channels as you have set them (or with the default code
value of 1). The “Advanced Scan” mode will scan all channels
for any and all codes, detect any code in use and use that code
value temporarily for that channel.
Priority is given to the “home channel”, that is, the channel (and
Interference Eliminator Code) your radio is set to when you start
the scan. This means the initial channel (and code settings) is
scanned more often than the other 21 channels and your radio
will respond quickly to any activity occurring on the home
channel as a priority.

As with two-way radio reception, weather channel reception
depends on how close you are to a transmitter and whether you
are indoors or outdoors. Because weather channels are
transmitted without codes, they may contain static or noise.
Weather Alert will not function while actively transmitting or
receiving in two-way mode.
