radio-wide scan
icon is displayed). Then press
the Scan Edit option switch to select the scan list
edit mode.
2. With conventional channels, if applicable, select the
list to be edited (1-3) by rotating and then pressing
the Select switch. The selected list is indicated as
“SCAN x”, where “x” is the list number from 1-3. If
user programming is disabled on a list, “NO LIST”
is momentarily displayed and it cannot be edited.
With SMARTNET/SmartZone channels, the scan
list for the selected channel is fixed and cannot be
changed. Scanning may also be disabled on the
channel in which case “NO LIST” is momentarily
displayed and scan list editing is not available.
3. Select the channel you want to add or delete by
rotating the Select switch. After the last conven-
tional channel in the current zone is displayed, the
first valid channel in the next zone is displayed and
vice versa. SMARTNET/SmartZone lists are
limited to 16 channels. If an attempt is made to add
more than 16, “LIST FULL” is displayed and a
channel must be deleted before another can be
added.
4. If the selected channel is in the scan list (scanned),
the box
icon (around “
S
”) is indicated in the
upper left corner of the display. To change the status
of the displayed channel, press the Select switch.
NOTE: The priority channel cannot be deleted (see
“Priority Channel Sampling” description which
follows).
5. To exit this mode and save the changes, press the
Scan Edit option switch again.
2.3.12 CONVENTIONAL AND SMARTNET/
SMARTZONE OPERATION
Introduction
Each selectable channel is programmable for
either conventional or SMARTNET
™
/SmartZone
®
(trunked) operation. For example, Zone 1/Channel 1
could be a conventional channel, Zone 1/Channel 2 a
SMARTNET/SmartZone channel, and so on. More
information on these modes follows.
Conventional Operation
This is a non-trunked operation mode which
accesses independent radio channels (there is no auto-
matic access to several channels as with trunked oper-
ation). Monitoring before transmitting may not occur
automatically in this mode, so you may have to manu-
ally monitor the channel before transmitting to make
sure that it is not being used by anyone else (see
Section 2.4.3). Selecting a conventional channel
selects a transmit and receive frequency and other
parameters such as Call Guard squelch coding.
SMARTNET/SmartZone Operation
This is a trunked operating mode that uses ID
codes to select which mobiles are being called and
which calls are received. Monitoring is performed
automatically and special messages and tones indicate
busy and out-of-range conditions. Enhanced features
include roaming (SmartZone only), telephone, private,
and emergency calls, Call Alert, and messaging. Oper-
ating features unique to SMARTNET/SmartZone
channels are described in Section 2.5.
This radio supports only the SMARTNET II
trunking protocol. It does not support the
SMARTNET I (also referred to as Type I) protocol.
When a SMARTNET or SmartZone channel is
selected or the radio is powered up on one of those
channels, it searches for a control channel and
attempts to register on the radio system. Once a
control channel is found, the alias (name) of the
selected channel is displayed. If a control channel
could not be found (because of an out of range condi-
tion or the system ID is not correct, for example), “NO
SYS” is displayed and the radio continues to search
for a control channel.
The control channel transmits and receives
system information to and from all radios registered on
the system. Therefore, once a control channel is found,
it is continuously monitored for incoming call infor-
mation and is used to make call requests. The radio
automatically changes to a traffic channel to place and
receive calls and then returns to the control channel
when the call is complete.
