GSM-R user procedures (cab radio Version 2)
Phase 1 - the warning
All cab radio users in the emergency group call area will hear an alarm and see a warning
on the display, even if the radio has not yet been registered.
When you receive a railway emergency group call,
the cab radio will let you know with an audible alarm
message “Emergency, Emergency, Emergency” and
the message ‘STOP EMERGENCY’.
When you receive a railway emergency group call, you must stop your train immediately
and not move until authorised to do so by the signaller.
If your train enters the emergency group call area after the call was set up, you will
still receive the alarm and ‘STOP’ message. You must stop your train immediately.
However, you will join the call part-way through and so may miss the beginning of the
voice message.
Phase 2 – communicating
The end of the alarm shows that the railway emergency group call has begun and that all
users in the emergency group call area are connected.
You can see confirmation that the call is connected
and a reminder that the PTT must be used if you are
going to communicate with the signaller.
Once connected, you will hear speech through the
loudspeaker. Once you have brought your train to a
complete stand, you must acknowledge the railway
emergency call and cancel the flashing ‘STOP’
message by pressing the button.
The person who makes the call can now pass their message. All other users will be able
to hear the message, but must not interrupt. To keep control of the multi-party call, only
one mobile user can speak at a time. This is governed by the network and using the PTT
button.
If other users need to speak, they must wait for the first conversation to end and for the
signaller to invite any other parties to add any further information relevant to the
emergency.
You will see a reminder on the cab radio to prompt you to use the PTT if you need to
speak. When you press the PTT you will hear a short confirmation tone while the network
sets up the speech channel. Once the speech channel is available to you, at the end of
the short tone, you will see the message “Speak” and you can now pass your message to
the signaller.
If another cab radio or handportable user has taken control of the voice connection to
the signaller, you will not be able to speak until the other user releases their PTT. In
