9.25.2 Message Operation
The following method can be used to transmit a Message using the Message Operation.
1. Press the key.
2. Press the corresponding pre-programmed 0 through 9 pre-programmed “message” key. If no message
has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid
selection will permit the message to appear in the top line of the display and the message ID to appear
in the second line of the display for a pre-programmed time.
The message selection can be changed by pressing a different message key 0 through 9, or the message
operation can be cancelled by pressing Option Button 2 . Both operations must be carried out prior to
the pre-programmed time-out period.
9.26 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the
system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will
not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives
and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup
groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_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.
After the time-out expires or the key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out
period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can
be polled by the site at a future time.
9.26.1 Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and
the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic
group.
9.27 MACRO KEY OPERATION Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"
keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input
(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when
pressed or when released.
A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key
is activated.
For detailed operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or
administrator.
9.28 PORTABLE DATA The P5300 series portable radios, when operating in the EDACS Trunked configuration, permit both
voice and data calls to be transmitted and received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a time;
