Section 2.3, and features unique to the conventional
mode are described in Section 2.4.
2.5.2 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.
2.5.3 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 in
Section 2.3.2. Select the channel programmed for
the talk group you want to call (see Section 2.3.5).
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, an out-of-range condition may exist.
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.
Receiving a Standard Call
When a SMARTNET/SmartZone group call is
received, the transceiver can be programmed to
display either the talk group of the incoming call or the
ID of the radio making the incoming call. If the ID is
in the Trunking Call List, the alias of that mobile is
displayed instead of the ID. If neither of these features
are programmed, the alias of the selected talk group
continues to be displayed when a call is received.
2.5.4 ENHANCED PRIVATE CONVERSATION
CALLS
General
Private calls allow you to place a call to a specific
mobile unit. Either the Enhanced Private Conversa-
tion
™
or Private Conversation II
™
modes may be
programmed depending on the capabilities of the radio
system. Operation in the Enhanced Private Conversa-
tion mode is described in the following information,
and operation in the Private Conversation II mode is
described in Section 2.5.5.
The Private Call option switch is required to
place these calls, and either that switch or the Call
Response option switch is required to receive them.
Proceed as follows.
Placing an Enhanced Private Conversation Call
This call is initiated by selecting the unit ID from
a call list (list entry) or by directly entering it using the
microphone keypad (direct entry). Proceed as follows:
List Entry Method
1. With a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel selected,
momentarily press the Private Call option switch.
The private call mode is then indicated by “
C
” in the
upper part of the display. Then if the last ID called
matches an ID in your call list, it is displayed on the
lower line and the name is displayed on the upper
line. Otherwise, only the last ID called is displayed.
2. Scroll through the private call list by rotating the
Select switch until the desired ID is displayed. To
cancel the call, press the Private Call switch.
3. Press the PTT switch to initiate the call. The display
then indicates the alias of the destination radio.
Proceed to the bulleted list following the next
method for conditions that may occur next.
