Using the Location Feature While in Emergency
Mode
When the Emergency feature is activated by pressing the
emergency button, the radio exits the Location menu and
returns to the home (default) display so that you can see which
channel the emergency signal is going out on.
However, you may re-enter the Location menu while still in
emergency mode, provided that Silent Emergency has not been
activated.
If you have turned Location off using the
ON/OFF
menu key, it
automatically turns back on when Emergency is activated.
If there is a solid location signal during Emergency, the current
location and the location information received is saved as
Emergency and Last Known Location waypoints, respectively.
Trunking System Controls
Using the Failsoft System
The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications
during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails
completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and
automatically switches to its failsoft channel.
The failsoft condition is indicated by a faint beeping tone every
nine seconds (radio unsquelched) until the trunking system
returns to normal operation.
To continue, in Failsoft, to communicate with other talkgroups,
refer to the following procedure.
Procedure:
1
Rotate the
MFK
to change to a different repeater frequency.
2
Press the
PTT
button to talk, and release the button to
listen.
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your
radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to
trunked operation.
