8.3 TRI-COLOR LED
Figure 8-2: Tri-Color LED
The Tri-Color LED changes color to indicate radio status and is visible from both the front and top of the
radio (see Figure 8-2). In OpenSky mode only two radio states are reflected by the LED and the status
they represent are:
Green: Receiving
Red: Transmitting
If the LED is flashing rapidly, the radio is receiving an emergency call. If the
LED is flashing every ½ second, the selected talk group is in the emergency state
(although not transmitting). If the selected talk group is in the emergency state,
an asterisk will be displayed next to the talk group name.
8.4 LOG IN TO THE NETWORK
Login occurs either automatically (auto registration) if the radio has a valid registration or, if enabled,
requires the user to enter a User ID and password.
The user will be prompted to “Pls Login” with the *1 login command, a User ID, and password.
1. Press *1, keys (Login command).
2. Enter the full 10-digit User ID.
3. Press the key.
4. Enter the password.
• If the radio is configured for alpha-numeric passwords and the password has consecutive
duplicate numbers (“MES33” for example), enter #, the key, between the consecutive
duplicate numbers so the radio will not interpret the entry as a letter (“D” in this example).
• If the radio is configured for numeric-only passwords, do not press the key between
duplicated numbers.
5. Press the key twice.
The User ID may be remembered from the previous log-in. (Refer to Section 8.5 for further details
regarding log-off commands.) The password will be established before the radio is put into operation.
Contact the local OpenSky network administrator for more information.
