• Scan mode

• Intercom mode

When information has been saved to a preset, the button will be illuminated green. If the button is not

designated as a preset, it will be illuminated red.

Presets are saved and restored to/from non-volatile memory. Changing the User ID (login in as a different

user) will clear the presets, as they are stored on a per-user basis. Changing control heads will not recall

presets for the previous control head.

Preset button C can be configured to perform a mode change. This applies to both OTP

mode and OCF mode. If the C button is configured for mode change, then it is not used

for normal preset functions.

5.21 DYNAMIC REGROUPING

Dynamic regrouping requires that the network administrator determine which radio users should be

formed into an impromptu talk group to respond to particular emergency conditions.

The administrator will edit the personalities of the affected radios to include an emergency profile, and

then page the affected radios to re-register with the network to receive their edited personalities.

In response, affected radios automatically re-register to receive their edited personalities. During re-

registration, subscriber equipment will default to the emergency profile selected by the administrator.

If the radio is equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, the radio’s current latitude and

longitude coordinates are displayed using the “GPS” menu. The following procedure assumes a GPS

antenna is connected to the radio and it is receiving adequate signals from GPS satellites:

1. Press the▲ or ▼ button until the “GPS” menu appears in the bottom line of the display. Current GPS

coordinate latitude and longitude data continuously scrolls in the top line of the display in a

degrees:minutes:seconds format.

2. Press the▲ or ▼ button to change to another menu.

If the internal GPS receiver’s data has expired (30 minutes or more) or is unavailable, the

radio uses the serving base station’s coordinates [GPS (Site) is displayed]. The GPS menu

will also indicate if the data is aged (2 minutes or more) [GPS (Aged) is displayed]

When a mobile radio detects that it is part of a V-TAC configuration, two additional menu items become

available: “Vmode Menu” and “Vchan Menu.” The “Vchan Menu” is available only when a V-TAC is

operating in the special mode referred to as the Scene-of-Incident mode (“SOI”).

The “Vmode Menu” permits user selection and control of one of four (4) different V-TAC operating

modes:
