DM3600 Alarm Mode - programming advice needed ..........

[Sputnik 1]

Hello Gang

can anyone help me on this one pls.

I am using a DM3600 as a trigger station into a DR3000 then out to 100 x DP3400s. So far so good no probs there.
 


BUT when any outstation presses the Em button my rig alerts in the normal way but when the emergency is stood down the Red LED  and the Alarm triangle remain on ( led flashes triangle lit in display )

Other than rebooting the rig is there any other way of resetting them as the reboot option is a definite NO NO

all advice HUMBLY received 

cheers

Just thought I would put the answer down for anyone else finding this thread...

To 'cancel/clear' an emergency on a receiving radio you must have the emergency button programmed (on and off- which is an auto selection in the CPS). For portable radios this will be the orange panic button at the top (generally, but not always), for mobile units it can be any of the four 'P' buttons (P1, P2, P3, P4). I personally programme 'Emergency On' as the long press and 'Emergency Off' as the short press.

When an emergency is received the screen will show the group, radio I.D, the LED will flash red and beep until you press a button. To exit from this you must press the 'Back' button followed quickly by the 'Emergency Off' button. This will clear the emergency and put the radio back to normal state.

thnks on that - my trigger now working beautifully 

but would just like to add that if like me the trigger is the ' BASE ' then the EM function may not be necessary to 'send' an alarm to all the outstations so I have disabled it in the ' SYS 1'  settings ( alarm type ) this still enables my rig to cancel any incoming alerts once stood down.........

hope this helps someone

cheers

Out of interest... What do you use your radios for? Thats not a bad sized system!
