If you turn on this option, the scanner will sound the selected alert at the selected volume level whenever it receives a transmission that has the emergency flag set

With most trunking systems, a handheld radio has an "Emergency" button for... yes, you guessed it... emergencies. When pressed, it sends a signal to the dispatcher. This signal is also interpreted by the 396, thus the system option you stumbled upon.
