Special Radio Features

Trunking System Controls

Busy Override

When a talkgroup call is placed in a SmartZone™ system and the system is not able to obtain voice channels at all necessary sites, a busy tone will be generated. If so programmed in the zone manager and through the radio service software, you may override this busy by performing the following steps:

1.Press the PTT Switch; a busy indication is received.

2.Release the PTT Switch.

3.Press and hold the PTT Switch a second time. The busy tones are heard again. After a few seconds, a busy-override chirp will be generated (if so programmed), and the radio will send in a busy-override request.

4.The talkgroup call will be placed at all sites that have voice channel resources available. Other sites will be added to the call as channels become available. Note: Realize that not all members of the talkgroup will be able to hear a call when a busy override is requested.

Dispatcher-Interrupt

The dispatcher-interrupt feature allows the dispatcher to interrupt your radio and place you in a Private Conversation call with the dispatcher.

1.When your radio receives a dispatcher-interrupt call, you will hear a repeating sequence of four, short, medium-pitched tones until you answer the call. The green LED will also flash to announce that a call is being received.

2.Press the PTT Switch and converse in the normal manner with the dispatcher.

3.When you are finished with your conversation, hang up by pressing the Call Response Button.

Failsoft

If a trunking system experiences a complete failure, the radio will revert to failsoft operation and automatically switch to its failsoft channel. During failsoft, the trunking repeaters will transmit a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds. When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio will automatically leave the failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.
