Re#’d 11/02<br />
Groups B & C not used by Parking.<br />
If you are in an immediate emergency (need of a Police Officer or Medical Personnel), you can press<br />
the ORANGE button on your radio, hold it for approximately 2 seconds. This will activate an alarm in<br />
dispatch and they will be aware that you are in distress. After you have hit the button you can still transmit,<br />
attempt to give dispatch your situation and location. To reset the emergency button, turn the radio off for at<br />
least 10 seconds before turning it back on, repeat if necessary. Note: Due to the fact dispatch does not track<br />
Parking Officers location, they will need to know where you are located.
