Trunking operation
When your radio is operating in trunking mode, all calls are
made to a trunking system via a control channel. The
trunking system manages a pool of traffic channels.
A typical display upon entry into trunked mode is shown
below.
The trunking service icon ( ) indicates whether the radio
currently has access to the network. If it is on continuously,
your radio is ready to make and accept calls; if it is flashing,
your radio does not currently have access to a network. It
may be attempting to find a site it is authorised to use, or it
may be out of range of a network signal.
BARTS
is the label of the string associated with the position
on the 16-way selector. The string will be actioned if you
press the PTT key, the enter key ( ) or the hash key ( ).
The labels that are displayed and the strings associated with
them are dependent upon how your radio is programmed.
Calls can be made from one radio to another, from a radio
to a PABX or PSTN number, or from a PABX or PSTN
number to a radio. The setup of a radio-to-radio call is
described on page 22.
The features and calls available on your radio in trunked
mode depend on how the network is configured. If your
radio does not operate as described in this manual, consult
your network operator.
