Note:
If you are going to leave a repeater unattended for long periods of
time, or as a permanent installation in a remote location, we recommend
that you configure it as required (select and attach the required Direct
Mode talkgroup) and then power the radio off. This will save the
configuration; each time the radio is powered on again, it will re-start with
the saved configuration. This will ensure that the radio is always running
with the correct repeater configuration even if it turns on unexpectedly
after circumstances such as power failures.
Switching to Repeater Mode
To switch to Repeater Mode see
Operating Modes
on page 67
.
Note:
Before you can use the radio as a repeater you must select a Direct
Mode talkgroup.
Changing talkgroups in Repeater Mode
You can change talkgroups while your radio is operating in Repeater Mode in
the usual way (see
Talkgroups and folders
on page 26
.)
Caution:
If you change to a different DMO talkgroup it may (depending
on the customisation) terminate any calls active through the repeater.
Using the Emergency Button in Repeater Mode
Caution:
If you use the Emergency Button when your radio is operating
in Repeater Mode, any calls that are currently active through the repeater
will cease. When the Alarm Call is subsequently cleared, the radio may not
necessarily remain in Repeater Mode.
Repeater states
A radio acting as a repeater can enter several states of operation, depending
upon the status of calls through the repeater and whether it has detected
other users of the direct mode channel. These states are reported as the
following top level screen messages:

Ready: Repeater
The repeater is ready and has no calls in progress
