Sending Status Information
When the remote control unit is used, status information can be
transmitted to your dispatcher when a Multi-Net system is selected. If this feature has been programmed by your system operator, one of up to eight status conditions can be selected using the STATUS key. The currently selected status condition is transmitted whenever the transmitter is keyed. To momentarily display the currently selected status, press the STATUS key once. To change the status, press this key again while this informa- tion is displayed. This cycles through the available choices. For example, status conditions such as AT SITE, LVG SITE, or UNLOADING can be displayed. This information is not displayed by the transceiver display.
MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION
Auto-Registration
In some radio systems, several sites may be linked together to provide wide area coverage. The auto-registration feature may then be used so that special calls can be automatically routed to the correct site (standard calls are not routed to other sites). To have this feature, it must have been programmed by your system operator and system scanning must be enabled by the SCN key. Auto-registration is available with Multi-Net systems only.
Auto-registration operates as follows: When you move out of range of the current site, the transceiver automatically begins searching for another site. While it is searching, “SCN” flashes in the display. When a new site is located, “SCN” is again displayed continuously and the selected system/group changes to the new site. The new system is typi- cally the first system that is programmed for the new site, and the new group is the group that was displayed when that system was last selected.
