7 Operating in Trunked Mode
This section explains how the radio operates on a DMR (digital), MPT (analog) or dual-mode trunked network.
These features are controlled by software licenses (SFE) and may not be available with your radio.
Your radio must have trunking functionality programmed before it can operate in DMR or MPT trunked
mode.
This section covers:
Checking that your Network is Available
Making a Call Using the Address Book
About Trunked Zones and Workgroups
Placing the Radio in Do-Not-Disturb Mode
Switching to Conventional Channels or Conventional Groups
Checking that your Network is Available
Check that the orange LED is flashing and the network icon appears on the display. These are the indications that the
radio has access to a trunked network.
If the network icon is flashing and
No service
appears on the display, the radio is attempting to access the trunked
network. If this icon remains flashing, the radio may be out of the network coverage area.
If
Limited service
appears on the display, one of the network sites or the connection between the network sites has
been interrupted. Users can still make calls to radios covered by the same site but not to radios on other sites.
