SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES
SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES
Introduction
An overview of the SMARTNET/SmartZone
operating mode is located on page 10. The following
information describes the features unique to the
SMARTNET and SmartZone modes of operation.
Refer to the “Radio-Wide Features” section starting on
page 11 for information on features common to all
operating modes. Conventional mode features are
described in the preceding “Conventional Features”
section.
Viewing Unit ID
When power is turned on with a SMARTNET/
SmartZone channel selected, the six-digit Unit ID is
briefly displayed as IDxxxxxx.
Placing and Receiving Standard Group Calls
Standard calls are between you and another
mobile, group of mobiles, or a control station (a radio
in a fixed location). Most calls are probably this type.
Proceed as follows to place and receive these calls.
Placing a Standard Group Call
1. Turn power on and set the volume as described on
page 8. Select the zone and channel programmed for
the talk group you want to call (see page 9).
2. If encryption is used it may be automatically
selected. If not, select the Secure mode if desired by
by pressing the Clear/Secure option key or selecting
that menu parameter. The encryption status cannot
be changed if encryption is fixed on the talk group.
Refer to page 10 for more information on secure
communication.
3. Press the PTT switch and begin talking. A talk
permit tone may sound to indicate when talking can
begin. Events that may occur are as follows:
•
If in the secure mode and your transceiver is not
programmed with the proper encryption key,
“KEYFAIL” is displayed and the call must be
made in the clear mode or the proper key must be
programmed.
•
If the busy tone sounds and “BUSY” is displayed,
the system is busy. Release the PTT switch and
wait for the call back tone to sound. Then press
the PTT switch within 3 seconds.
•
If a continuous tone sounds and “NO SYS” is
displayed, you may be out-of-range. Drive closer
or away from shielding objects and try again.
•
If your unit ID is invalid, the call is being made to
an invalid group ID, group calls are not enabled,
or the selected talk group is not programmed for
the selected secure mode, “DISABLED ID” is
displayed and an alert tone sounds.
•
If an attempt is made to change an analog call
from the clear to secure mode and there is no
available secure channel, “NO SEC” is flashed
and the call continues in the clear mode.
•
If an attempt is made to change an analog channel
from the secure to clear mode, “SEC ONLY” is
displayed and the call continues in the secure
mode. (Calls on digital channels can be changed
if not strapped.)
•
If the secure mode is selected by the Secure/Clear
option key or menu parameter and an attempt is
made to transmit on a channel strapped as clear,
“Clear Only” is displayed and the transmitter is
disabled. Conversely, if the clear mode is selected
and the channel is strapped as secure, “Secure
Only” is displayed and the transmitter is disabled.
Receiving a Standard Group Call
When a SMARTNET/SmartZone group call is
received, the transceiver can be programmed to
display the Individual ID of the calling mobile and/or
the received talk group alias. The Individual ID is
briefly displayed when the call is received and the talk
group and channel alias are then alternately displayed
(if applicable).
