Viewing Unit ID
Each radio in a SMARTNET system is identified with a system ID
and Unit ID. To display the Unit ID, make sure that a SMARTNET/
SmartZone channel is selected and then turn power off and then on again.
The software version number, current zone, and six-digit Unit ID are then
displayed in sequence. The Unit ID is displayed as IDxxxxxx.
Standard Group Calls
Standard calls are between you and another mobile, group of
mobiles, or a control station (a radio at a fixed location). Most calls you
make will probably be this type.
Placing a Standard Group Call
1. Turn power on and set the volume as described on page 15. Select the
channel programmed for the talk group you want to call (see page 16).
A regular or announcement talk group can be selected.
2. Press the PTT switch and when the alert tone sounds, begin talking.
Other indications that may occur are as follows:
•
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 and begin talking.
•
If a continuous tone sounds while pressing the PTT switch, 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, or group calls are not allowed, “INVALID ID” is displayed and an
alert tone sounds.
