Professional Radio
Accessories
DESCRIPTION
In case of emergency situations, the user of a mobile
radio may need to secretly communicate to the base
station. The RLN4836 Emergency Foot Switch
provides the means to quickly and secretly trigger the
Professional Radio to send an emergency alert.
INSTALLATION
Carefully select the installation location for the
RLN4836 Emergency Foot Switch. Plan the location
so that once installed, the foot switch is readily
accessible to the user, but will not be stepped on
accidentally while performing normal vehicle
operation. Refer to Figure 1 for foot switch detail and
parts identification.
Preparing the Foot Switch
The foot switch is assemb led with two hex nuts and a
rubber cap. Disassemble the foot switch as follows:
1. Unscrew the rubber cap in a counterclockwise
direction until it is loose on the threaded shaft.
2. Pull the rubber cap away from the threaded shaft
and off the switch actuator shaft.
3. Remove one hex nut from the threaded shaft.

mounting surface.
2. Place one lockwasher (supplied in plastic bag) on
the foot switch threaded shaft.
3. Insert the threaded shaft up through the mounting
surface.
4. Adjust the hex nut until the exposed threaded
shaft is 12.7 mm (1/2 inch) above the top of the
mounting surface.
5. Place one lockwasher (supplied in plastic bag) on
the threaded shaft.
6. Screw the second hex nut onto the threaded
shaft, and tighten it to secure the foot switch in the
hole.

OPERATION
Refer to your radio’s user guide for information on
Sending An Emergency Alert
. Send an emergency
alert by pressing the emergency foot switch. Cancel
the emergency alert by pressing the PTT or by
pressing another button preprogrammed by your
dealer. The only difference in the operation of
emergency alert is that, unlike other ways of initiating
the alert, the emergency foot switch will power up a
radio that is off.
