Orion LBI-38888K OPERATION

If the radio is keyed and a low pitched tone is heard then the radio is not

authorized on the system that has been selected.

If the programmed time for continuous transmission is exceeded, five short

high-pitched warning tones followed by a long low-pitched tone will be

heard. The transmitter will shut down shortly after hearing the alert,

interrupting communications. Release and re-key the PTT button to

maintain communications. This will reset the carrier control timer and turn

the transmitter back on.

A short tone or "beep" sounds to indicate a key has been p ressed. A short

low-pitched tone indicates no action was taken because the key is not active

in the current mode.

When control is switched to a previously idle control unit, two short high-

pitched tones will sound at the control unit where PTT was pressed, that is

now the active controller.

OPERATION

The ORION mobile radio unit can be programmed to operate in either a

trunked system or a conventional system or b oth. Operating features and

functions have been grouped according to the type of system the radio is

operational. This first section contains general operating procedures (e.g.,

Turning On The Radio). The second section, TRUNKED MODE

OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a

trunked system (e.g., Group Scan). The third section, CONVENTIONAL

MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only

used in a conventional system (e.g., Squelch Adjust). The fourth section,

TRUNKED OR CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers those

operating procedures that may be used in either a trunked or conventional

system (e.g., Multiple Radio Operation).
