9.17 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION

Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the

Communications Systems Director (CSD). The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping.

Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio until an activation message is sent by the system

manager. Each radio that receives and acknowledges regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.

Pressing and holding the CLEAR (Scan Model) or CLR (System Model) button for 2.5 seconds toggles

the user into and out of the dynamic regroup group set. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The

display will indicate REGR_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group when dynamic regroup

has been enabled by the user. If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not

been regrouped, the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and

receiving calls in this condition except for scanned groups.

If the pre-programmed group set on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and

the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will exit dynamic regroup and declare the emergency on the

HOME group. If no EMER/HOME group is present, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently

selected dynamic regroup group.

Page sends a PING message to a radio and functions similar to Individual Call.

The following procedures describe how to initiate and complete a Page.

1. To select a previously stored individual, select the Page mode from the menu followed by the

ramp control to scroll through the list of stored individuals. The selection mode rules apply. While in

the individual call list, the MENU key toggles the display between the call name and the unit ID

number. On System model radios, the individual’s unit ID can also be entered directly from the

keypad.

2. Press the PTT button; the radio performs the necessary signaling on the control channel. On the

calling radio, line 1 shows the called individual's name if found in the list of stored individuals or ID

followed by the logical ID number of the unit being called. If the receiving radio receives the Page

and responds, both radios will emit three high-pitched tones. The receiving radio will also display

PAGE and the ID of the calling radio.
