SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES

When in the failsoft mode, operation is in the conventional mode on
a preprogrammed failsoft channel. If a transmission is attempted before a
failsoft channel is located, a continuous tone sounds until the PTT switch
is released. When the radio system returns to normal operation, this
condition is automatically detected and normal operation resumes.
SMARTNET/SmartZone Scanning
Scanning on a SMARTNET/Smartzone channel is similar to the
standard and radio wide scanning described starting on page 20. Each
channel can be programmed with a different scan list that includes up to
16 channels, one of which can be a priority channel.
Scanning is enabled/disabled by the Scan option switch. In addition,
channels can be programmed so that scanning automatically starts when-
ever the channel is selected. Scanning is temporarily disabled and “
S
”
turns off if a channel is selected that has scanning disabled. Then when a
channel is selected again that permits scanning, it is automatically
re-enabled.
In addition to calls on channels in the scan list, pages, private calls,
and telephone calls are received while scanning. Messages on the priority
channel are received while listening to lower priority messages. However,
private and telephone calls are not interrupted by calls on the priority
channel.
Dynamic Regrouping
The dynamic regrouping feature allows a dispatcher to switch users
to a dynamically defined channel to receive an important message.
Dynamic regrouping operates as follows:
1. When this command is received, the alternating dynamic regrouping
tone sounds, the transceiver automatically changes to the regrouping
channel, and the display alternately indicates “REGROUP” and the
alias of the selected channel. All transmitting and receiving then occurs
on this channel.
