2. To reset all talk and announcement groups to normal so that only the
designated regrouping channel is on the dynamic group, manually
select the designated regrouping channel if you know it. If this channel
is not selected or there is no designated regrouping channel, all trans-
missions occur on the dynamically assigned group regardless of which
channel is selected, and the regrouping tone sounds each time the PTT
switch is pressed.
3. When regrouping is canceled by the dispatcher, transceiver operation
returns to normal.
SmartZone Features
Introduction
As described on page 23, the SmartZone® mode provides wide area
coverage by allowing roaming between SMARTNET and conventional
sites. SmartZone operation is the same as SMARTNET with the
following additional features:
Determining Current Site and Searching For New Site
To determine the current radio site, momentarily press the Site
Search option switch (if programmed). If currently registered on a site,
“SITE x” is displayed, where “x” is the site number. If the site is locked
(see following), “LOCK x” is displayed instead. The display then indi-
cates the RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indicator) value of the current
site as “RSSI x”. If the Site Search switch is not pressed again, this mode
is exited and the normal channel display returns.
To search for a new site, repeatedly press the Site Search option
switch while “SITE x”, “LOCK x”, or “RSSI x” is displayed. Each time it
is pressed, information for the next site is displayed. To select the
displayed site, simply do not press the switch again and that site is
selected when the normal channel display returns. If site lock is on (see
next section) the radio will be locked on this site when this function is
exited.
