CONVENTIONAL FAILSOFT

In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS System, communications may take place in conventional failsoft mode. The radio will be automatically directed to a communications channel set up for this purpose. During this mode of operation, the control unit will display CONV FS in the alphanumeric display. An increase in activity on the channel during conventional failsoft operation may be noticed, so be careful not to transmit until the channel is clear.

Operation during conventional failsoft will be the same as operation on a conventional system, except that it will not be possible to select a communications channel, or use emergency and special call. When trunking is restored, the radio will automatically be returned to normal operation.

NOTE

Emergency and Special Call are not operational during conventional failsoft. Also, the GROUP control will not operate.

EMERGENCY OPERATION

The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an emergency, remain locked on an emergency and group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can each be enabled or disabled through programming. When an emergency is declared scanning will stop and restarts only after the emergency has been cleared.

Receiving An Emergency Call

When receiving an emergency call from the selected group and system, an alert beep is heard and the BSY indicator comes ON. The message *RXEMER* flashes in the display on line two until the emergency condition is cleared. Follow standard emergency procedures.
