Special Radio Features
Trunking System Controls
Failsoft
The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during
a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the
radio goes into failsoft operation, and automatically switches to its
failsoft channel.
During failsoft operation:
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio
automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked
operation.
Out-of-Range
If you go out of the range of the system, and can no longer lock onto a
control channel, you hear a low-pitched tone.
Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until
• It locks onto a control channel,
• It locks onto a failsoft channel, or
• It is turned off.
• Your radio transmits and
receives in conventional
operation on a predetermined
frequency.
• You hear a medium-pitched
tone every 10 seconds.
