Fallback Mode

If a base station loses communication with the rest of the network, then any
radios using the base station continue to operate, but with a reduced service.
This is known as

Fallback Mode

. The base station broadcasts the loss of

communication to all radios which are using it.

In Fallback Mode your radio can only communicate with other radios that are
registered on the same site: no inter-site communication is available.

When your radio enters Fallback Mode:

the radio status bar indicates Fallback Mode and the

yellow warning

triangle is displayed momentarily

the Fallback Mode text box pops up in the centre of the screen for a few
seconds showing a customisable text message

the

RSSI antenna icon flashes continuously

the tri-colour LED flashes amber intermittently (indicating limited service
mode)

the radio generates a warning tone

When your radio leaves Fallback Mode:

the radio status bar returns to normal (Ready… or similar)

the

RSSI antenna icon stops flashing

the tri-colour LED stops flashing

a text box pops up indicating normal operation.

the radio generates a warning tone.
