SmartZone Features
Introduction
As described on page 10, the SmartZone mode
provides wide area coverage by allowing roaming
between SMARTNET and conventional sites. Smart-
Zone operation is the same as SMARTNET with the
following additional features:
Busy Override
The busy override feature allows a call to be
placed even if not all sites you are calling have a free
traffic channel. The only sites guaranteed to be
included are the Critical Sites and the sites where a
Critical User is located. This feature is enabled and
disabled by the system manager, and it operates as
follows:
1. Assume that you have attempted to place a call and
the system was busy (“BUSY” displayed and busy
tone sounded).
2. Release the PTT switch and then press it for 5
seconds or more. If a chirp tone sounds with the PTT
switch pressed, busy override is occurring.
NOTE: Remember that not all members of the talk
group are receiving your message. Missing
members will start receiving your message as
channels become available.
Determining Current Site and Searching For New
Site
To display the relative signal level of the current
site, press the Site Search option key or select that
menu parameter. The display then alternately indi-
cates the current site number as “SITE xx” and the
signal level as “RSSI xx”. To exit the site search
mode, press the Site Search option key again or the F1
(Exit) key.
To scroll through the other programmed sites,
press the Up/Down switch while “SITE xx” or “RSSI
xx” is displayed. To select the displayed site, press the
Site Search option key or the F2 (Select) key. If site
lock is on when site search is entered (see following),
the radio will be locked on the new site when this
function is exited.
Locking/Unlocking a Site
It is sometimes desirable to stay on a site. To
prevent the transceiver from searching for a new site,
lock it on the current site by pressing the Site Lock
option key or selecting that menu parameter. The
display then momentarily indicates “LOCK x” to indi-
cate that the current site is locked (“x” is the current
site number). To unlock the site, press the Site Lock
key again or the F2 (Exit) key and “UNLOCK” is
momentarily displayed.
