APX 4000 (2 KNOBS) 

Trunking System Controls  

Using the Fail-soft System 

ADVANCED FEATURES 

The fail-soft system ensures continuous radio  
communications during a trunked system failure. 
 
If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into fail-
soft operation and automatically switches to its fail-soft 
channel. 
 

Procedure: 

 
1  

During fail-soft operation, your radio transmits and receives 

in conventional operation on a predetermined frequency. 

 

2  

You hear a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds and the 

display shows 

Fail-soft

. 

 
 
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your 
radio automatically leaves fail-soft operation and returns to 
trunked operation.
