GENERAL OPERATION  
Introduction  
The following section describes features available with both trunked  
and conventional operation. Features unique to conventional channels are  
described starting on page 25, and features unique to SMARTNET/  
SmartZone channels are described starting on page 34.  
Turning Power On and Setting Volume  
Power is turned on and off by the On-Off/Volume switch on the top  
panel. When power is initially turned on, an alert tone sounds and the  
radio software version is momentarily displayed. The zone alias is then  
displayed followed by the unit ID if a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel is  
selected (see page 34). The selected channel is then indicated.  
To turn power off, turn the On-Off/Volume knob counterclockwise  
until a click occurs. The display may remain on for a few seconds after  
power is turned off. It is recommended that power not be turned back on  
again until the display is blank.  
16  
 
       
GENERAL OPERATION  
The relative volume level can be determined by noting the position  
of the index on the On-Off/Volume knob. To enable a reference tone for  
setting the volume, proceed as follows:  
If key press tones are enabled (see page 20), a short tone sounds when  
front panel keys are pressed.  
If a conventional channel is selected and the Monitor option switch is  
programmed (see page 26), pressing that switch unsquelches/squelches  
the receiver and either voice or background noise is heard. If a  
SMARTNET/SmartZone channel is selected, the receiver cannot be  
manually unsquelched.  
Backlight  
The backlight for the display and keypad can be manually turned on  
by pressing the Backlight option switch if it is available. It can also be  
dealer programmed to automatically turn on when any key is pressed. It  
then automatically turns off after a programmed delay so that battery  
drain is minimized.  
Option Switches  
The programmable option switches are as follows:  
F1, F2, and F3 on front panel. In addition, with full keypad (15-key)  
models, the *, and # keys are programmable.  
AUX and FCN on the side panel  
If your radio is programmed with both conventional and  
SMARTNET/SmartZone channels (see page 23), these option switches  
can be dealer programmed to control a different set of functions for each  
channel type. For example, the F1 switch could select Hi/Lo Power when  
a conventional channel is selected and Private Calls when a  
SMARTNET/SmartZone channel is selected. The available functions in  
each mode are indicated in the tables on pages 9 and 10. If the  
programmed functions are not indicated in these tables, consult your  
17  
 
         
GENERAL OPERATION  
dealer to determine how your switches have been programmed. If no  
option switch has been programmed to control a particular function, that  
function may not be available or may be in a fixed mode.  
Keypad Lock  
If the Keypad Lock option switch has been programmed, the keypad  
can be locked (disabled) to prevent keys from being accidentally pressed.  
To lock the keypad, press this switch and a locked keypad is indicated by  
the  
icon in the display. To unlock the keypad again, press and hold the  
Keypad Lock switch until a tone sounds. The keypad can also be disabled  
by dealer programming. It is then permanently disabled and cannot be re-  
enabled by the user.  
Low Battery Indication  
When the battery voltage falls below a preset level, the  
icon  
appears in the display and stays on until power is turned off. In addition,  
the following low battery indications may be programmed to occur:  
The amber BATT indicator on the top panel lights.  
A beep sounds once per minute in the standby mode.  
A beep sounds each time the PTT switch is pressed.  
The battery should be recharged as soon as practical after a low  
battery indication appears. Refer to page 52 for more information. There  
is also a battery saver function that may be programmed which automati-  
cally switches to a lower power output level when the site is very near.  
Channel and Zone Selection  
Channel Select  
To change the current channel, rotate the 16-position channel  
selector knob on the top panel to the desired position. With SMARTNET/  
SmartZone channels, the channel is always indicated by alias (name).  
With conventional channels, the channel number or frequency may also  
18  
 
           
GENERAL OPERATION  
Zone Select  
A zone is a group of up to any 16 conventional and SMARTNET/  
SmartZone channels defined by dealer programming. Up to 16 zones can  
be programmed for a total of 16 x 16 or 256 channels. One use of zones  
may be to select groups of channels programmed for operation in  
different geographical areas or radio systems. If selectable zones have  
been programmed in your radio, consult your dealer for more information  
on how they are used. Zones are selected as follows:  
1. Press the Zone option switch and the alias (name) of the current zone is  
flashed in the display.  
2. Use the number keys to enter the desired zone number or scroll through  
the available zones using the  
and  
keys.  
3. Once the desired zone is displayed, press the ENT key or wait 4  
seconds.  
Home Zone  
The radio can be programmed with a home zone. Then when power  
is turned on, the radio can be programmed so that either the home or last  
selected zone is automatically selected.  
If the Home Zone option switch is programmed, it can be used to  
quickly select or change the home zone. To select the home zone, simply  
press this switch. Then to change the home zone to the currently selected  
zone, press and hold this switch until a tone sounds (approximately 1  
second).  
Time-Out Timer  
The time-out timer disables the transmitter if it is keyed for longer  
than the programmed time. On each channel it can be programmed for  
times from 15 seconds up to 3 minutes, 45 seconds or disabled (not used).  
If the transmitter is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed  
19  
 
           
GENERAL OPERATION  
time, the transmitter is disabled and an invalid condition tone sounds.  
Five seconds before time-out occurs, an alert tone sounds to indicate that  
time-out is approaching. The timer and tone are reset by releasing the  
PTT switch.  
One use of this feature is to prevent a channel from being kept busy  
for an extended period by an accidentally keyed transmitter. It can also  
prevent possible transmitter damage caused by transmitting for an exces-  
sively long period. Conventional channels can also be programmed with  
the Penalty and Conversation timers that are described starting on  
Tone Enable/Disable  
The supervisory tones (see page 50) can be enabled and disabled by  
the Tones On-Off option switch if it is programmed. When tones are  
enabled by this switch, “TONE ON” is momentarily displayed and a tone  
sounds. Conversely, when tones are disabled, “TONE OFF” is displayed  
and no tone sounds. If the Tones On-Off option switch is not  
programmed, tones are fixed in the on or off mode.  
Scanning  
Introduction  
Scanning cycles through a list of channels, called a “scan list”,  
checking each for messages. When a message is detected that your trans-  
ceiver is programmed to receive, scanning stops and the message is  
received. Shortly after the message is complete, scanning resumes (unless  
it has been disabled).  
There are two basic scan modes: Standard and Radio Wide. The  
Standard mode is unique to the type of channel selected (conventional or  
SMARTNET/SmartZone), and the Radio Wide mode is the same regard-  
less of the channel type selected. Only one of these scan modes can be  
enabled at a time. Therefore, if standard scanning is enabled while radio  
20  
 
         
GENERAL OPERATION  
wide scanning is occurring, radio wide scanning is automatically disabled  
and vice versa. More information on these modes follows.  
Standard Scanning  
Standard scanning monitors only channels that are the same type as  
that currently selected. Therefore, if a conventional channel is selected,  
only conventional channels are scanned, and if a SMARTNET channel is  
selected, only SMARTNET channels are scanned. Standard scanning is  
turned on and off by the Scan option switch as follows. If this switch is  
not programmed, standard scanning is not available.  
To turn standard scanning on, press the Scan option switch. Scanning is  
enabled when the “S” icon is indicated in the upper left corner of the  
display and SCAN x (conventional) or SCAN ON (SMARTNET/  
SmartZone) is briefly displayed. The “x” is the number of the conven-  
tional scan list (1, 2, or 3) that is selected. Refer to page 30 for more  
information.  
To turn scanning off, press the Scan option switch again. The “S” icon  
is then no longer indicated and “SCAN OFF” is briefly displayed.  
If the zone or channel is changed while scanning is selected, scanning  
continues on the same or a different scan list (see scan list information  
which follows).  
Radio Wide Scanning  
Radio wide scanning monitors the channels in the preprogrammed  
radio wide scan list (see page 22). This list may contain up to 16 channels  
of any type (conventional or SMARTNET/SmartZone) assigned to any  
zone. Radio wide scanning is turned on and off by the Radio Wide Scan  
option switch as follows. If this switch is not programmed, radio wide  
scanning is not available.  
To turn radio wide scanning on, press the Radio Wide Scan option  
switch. The  
icon is then displayed continuously and “RWS ON” is  
displayed briefly.  
21  
 
       
GENERAL OPERATION  
To turn radio wide scanning off, press the Radio Wide Scan option  
switch again. The  
icon is then no longer indicated and “RWS  
OFF” is displayed briefly.  
If the zone or channel is changed while radio wide scanning,  
scanning continues normally.  
Scan Resume Delay  
When a message is received or transmitted while scanning, there is a  
dealer programmable delay before scanning resumes. The delay after  
receiving a call prevents another message from being received before you  
can make a response, and the delay after transmitting a call ensures that  
you hear a response to your call instead of another message occurring on  
some other channel.  
Standard Mode Scan List  
NOTE: The selected channel is always scanned.  
With conventional operation up to three scan lists can be  
programmed. The list that is scanned is selected by the Scan option  
switch as described on page 30. Selecting another conventional channel  
does not change the current scan list. The scan lists are user program-  
mable if the Scan Edit option switch is programmed.  
With SMARTNET/SmartZone operation, each channel can be  
programmed so that one of up to three different scan lists is automatically  
selected or scanning is disabled. The scan list is not user selectable or  
programmable.  
Radio Wide Mode Scan List  
With radio wide scanning, there is only one preprogrammed scan list  
available regardless of the type of channel selected, and it is not user  
programmable.  
22  
 
     
GENERAL OPERATION  
Determining Which Channels are in Scan List  
Channels in the standard SMARTNET/SmartZone and radio wide  
lists are not indicated. With conventional channels, the selected channel  
is in the current scan list if the box  
the upper left corner of the display.  
icon (around “S”) is indicated in  
Nuisance Channel Delete  
With standard scanning, channels can be temporarily deleted from  
the scan list, for example, if messages on a channel become annoying.  
This feature is not available with radio wide scanning. Proceed as follows:  
NOTE: The selected channel and conventional priority channels cannot  
be deleted from the scan list.  
1. While receiving a message on the channel to be deleted, press and hold  
the Scan option switch until the alert tone sounds (about 1 second).  
2. The channel is then deleted and scanning of the remaining channels in  
the scan list resumes.  
3. Deleted channels are added back into the scan list if either of the  
following occur:  
Scanning is turned off and then on again using the Scan switch.  
Transceiver power is turned off and then on again.  
Conventional and SMARTNET/SmartZone Operation  
Introduction  
Each selectable channel is dealer programmable for either conven-  
tional or SMARTNET™/SmartZone® (trunked) operation. For example,  
Zone 1/Channel 1 could be a conventional channel, Zone 1/Channel 2 a  
SMARTNET/SmartZone channel, and so on. Consult your dealer to  
determine the type or types of operation programmed in your radio. More  
information on these modes follows.  
23  
 
         
GENERAL OPERATION  
Conventional Operation  
This is a non-trunked operation mode which accesses independent  
radio channels (there is no automatic access to several channels as with  
trunked operation). Monitoring before transmitting may not occur auto-  
matically in this mode, so you may have to manually monitor the channel  
before transmitting to make sure that it is not being used by anyone else  
(see page 25). Selecting a conventional channel selects a transmit and  
receive frequency and other parameters such as Call Guard squelch  
coding.  
SMARTNET/SmartZone Operation  
This is a trunked operating mode that uses ID codes to select which  
mobiles are being called and which calls are received. Monitoring is  
performed automatically and special messages and tones indicate busy  
and out-of-range conditions. Enhanced features include roaming (Smart-  
Zone only), telephone, private, and emergency calls, Call Alert, and  
messaging. Operating features unique to SMARTNET/SmartZone chan-  
nels are described starting on page 34.  
This radio supports only the SMARTNET II trunking protocol. It  
does not support the SMARTNET I (also referred to as Type I) protocol.  
When a SMARTNET or SmartZone channel is selected or the radio is  
powered up on one of those channels, it searches for a control channel  
and attempts to register on the radio system. Once a control channel is  
found, the alias (name) of the selected channel is displayed. If a control  
channel could not be found (because of an out of range condition or the  
system ID is not correct, for example), “NO SYS” is displayed and the  
radio continues to search for a control channel.  
The control channel transmits and receives system information to  
and from all radios registered on the system. Therefore, once a control  
channel is found, it is continuously monitored for incoming call informa-  
tion and is used to make call requests. The radio automatically changes to  
a traffic channel to place and receive calls and then returns to the control  
channel when the call is complete.

CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
Introduction  
The following information describes features unique to the conven-  
tional operating mode (see brief description on preceding page). Refer to  
the preceding “General Operation” section for information on features  
common to all operating modes, and to the SMARTNET/SmartZone  
section starting page 34 for information on features unique to that mode.  
Display Mode Selection  
If the Displayed Information option switch is programmed, the  
display mode used to indicate conventional channels can be user selected.  
Pressing this switch cycles between the following modes. The selected  
mode does not change when power is turned off. If the Displayed Infor-  
mation option switch is not programmed, the Alias mode is always used.  
Alias - The preprogrammed alphanumeric tag for the channel is  
displayed.  
Number - The channel number from 1-16 is displayed.  
Frequency - The receive frequency of the selected channel is displayed  
in megahertz.  
Monitoring Before Transmitting  
With conventional operation, you may need to manually monitor the  
channel before transmitting to make sure that it is not being used by  
someone else. If you were to transmit while someone else was using the  
channel, you would probably disrupt their conversation. Channels are  
monitored automatically or manually as follows:  
25  
 
             
CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
Automatic Channel Monitoring  
If the selected channel is programmed for Busy Channel Lockout  
feature (consult your dealer), monitoring is performed automatically.  
Refer to the description of this feature on page 27 for more information.  
Manual Channel Monitoring  
The automatic monitoring just described may not be programmed or  
it may occasionally disable the transmitter even if the channel is not in  
use. In this case, the channel must be monitored manually as follows:  
Rx Indicator - With scanning disabled, note if the green RX indicator  
on the top panel is on. If it is not, the channel is not being used and you  
can transmit your call. If it is on, the channel may be busy and you  
should not place your call (see next paragraph).  
Monitor Mode - There may be times when the busy indication is  
displayed even though no one is using the channel. Monitoring should  
then be performed by disabling Call Guard squelch using the Normal/  
Selective option switch as described on page 28 or the monitor mode  
described next.  
Monitor Mode  
The monitor mode temporarily disables squelch control features  
(such as Call Guard® squelch) so that all messages are heard on the  
selected channel. It also overrides the Busy Channel Lockout feature (see  
next section) and temporarily halts scanning.  
To monitor the selected transmit channel, select the monitor mode  
by briefly pressing the Monitor option switch (if available). The  
is displayed and the receiver unsquelches when the monitor mode is

CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
(approximately 1 second). This function may be useful, for example,  
during weak signal conditions if intermittent squelching makes a message  
difficult to understand.  
Busy Channel Lockout  
The Busy Channel Lockout feature (also called Transmit Disable On  
Busy) automatically disables the transmitter if the channel is busy when  
the PTT switch is pressed. When a busy condition is detected by this  
feature, the transmitter is disabled, “BUSY” is indicated in the lower part  
of the display, and a tone similar to a standard telephone busy tone  
sounds until the PTT switch is released. This feature is programmed to  
operate in one of the following modes on each channel:  
Off - The transmitter keys even if the channel is busy.  
Noise - The transmitter is disabled if any signal is detected on the  
channel.  
Tone - The transmitter is disabled if the detected squelch coding is not  
correct.  
If busy override is permitted by programming, it is possible to  
transmit even when the transmitter is disabled by this feature. Simply  
release the PTT switch and then quickly press it again.  
Call Guard Squelch  
General  
Call Guard® squelch (also called CTCSS/DCS signaling) may be  
programmed on conventional channels. This feature eliminates  
distracting messages intended for others using the channel by using a  
subaudible tone or digital code to control the squelch. This tone or code is  
unique to a user or talk group on that channel. It is transmitted by the  
mobile placing a call, and if Call Guard squelch is programmed in the  
mobile receiving the call, it must detect the correct tone or code to  
receive the call.  
27  
 
       
CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
Call Guard Squelch Enable/Disable  
To disable Call Guard (Selective) squelch so that all messages on the  
selected or scanned channels are heard, press the Normal/Selective option  
switch if programmed. Then to re-enable Call Guard squelch, press the  
Normal/Selective switch again.  
When Call Guard squelch is disabled by this switch, “SQ NORM” is  
flashed on the lower line of the display, and when it is enabled, “SQ  
SLCT” is flashed. The mode selected by this switch does not change  
when other channels are selected or power is cycled. Call Guard squelch  
can also be disabled by the monitor mode described on page 26.  
Changing the Call Guard Code  
If you have the full keypad (15-key) model and the ability to change  
Call Guard codes has been enabled by programming, the transmit and  
receive codes from one channel can be temporarily or permanently reas-  
signed to all channels of the current zone. Proceed as follows:  
1. Using the number keys, enter the number of the channel that is  
programmed with the code you want to reassign to all channels (only  
channels 1-9 can be selected). See “Display Mode Selection” on  
page 25 for information on displaying channel numbers.  
2. The display then briefly indicates “CODE x”, where “x” is the key you  
pressed. The codes assigned to that channel are then reassigned to all  
the other channels in the current zone. The reassignments remain in  
effect even after power is cycled.  
3. To restore all Call Guard codes in the current zone to the original  
settings, press the “0” key.  
Penalty Timer  
A penalty timer may be programmed on conventional channels to  
prevent transmissions for a period of time after the time-out timer  
described on page 19 disables the transmitter. The penalty timer starts  
28  
 
       
CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
when the PTT switch is released after the transmitter has been disabled. If  
the PTT switch is pressed during the penalty time, the time-out indication  
occurs again. A beep sounds when the penalty timer expires and the  
transmitter can then be keyed.  
Conversation Timer  
A conversation timer can be programmed on conventional channels  
to limit the total length of a conversation rather than just the length of  
each transmission as with the time-out timer. This timer is reset when the  
time between transmissions exceeds the penalty time just described. A  
warning tone sounds 5 seconds before the conversation timer expires.  
When it expires, the transmitter is disabled and a warning tone sounds.  
The transmitter remains disabled for the length of the penalty time, and a  
beep sounds when it can be keyed again.  
Repeater Talk-Around  
Normally, all your transmissions go through a repeater which  
usually increases range. However, if you are out of range of the repeater,  
you cannot talk to anyone else on that channel even though the mobile  
you are calling may be only a short distance away. To allow communica-  
tion when this situation occurs, repeater talk-around can be used to allow  
direct communication with a mobile without going through a repeater.  
Repeater talk-around can be selected if the Repeater Talk-Around  
option switch is programmed. When talk-around is enabled by this  
switch, the  
icon is displayed and “RTA ON” is flashed in the display.  
Then when it is disabled by pressing the switch again, that icon is no  
longer displayed and “RTA OFF” is flashed. Changing channels or  
turning power off does not change the selected talk-around mode.  
Power Output Select  
If the High/Low Power option switch is programmed and power  
selection is permitted on the current channel, either high or low trans-  
mitter power can be selected. Generally, the high power setting allows  
you to transmit longer distances but uses more battery power, and the  
29  
 
           
CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
opposite occurs with the low power setting. When the low power is  
selected on the current channel, “LOW” is indicated continuously near  
the bottom of the display.  
Pressing the High/Low Power switch toggles the power setting. The  
new level is flashed in the display when this switch is pressed as “HI  
POWER” or “LO POWER”. If power selection is not permitted on the  
channel, the fixed power level is flashed and no power change occurs.  
Turning power off or changing channels does not change the power  
setting selected for a channel.  
Conventional Mode Scanning  
General  
The following information describes scanning features unique to  
conventional operation. Scan operation common to all modes is described  
starting on page 20, and scan operation unique to SMARTNET/  
SmartZone operation is described starting on page 48.  
Selecting a Scan List  
When standard scanning with full keypad (15-key) models, one of  
up to three scan lists can be selected. These lists can be dealer or user  
programmed as described in the information which follows. With limited  
keypad (3-key) models, only one scan list is available and it cannot be  
user programmed. However, nuisance channels can still be temporarily  
deleted as described on page 23.  
Proceed as follows to select a scan list with full keypad models:  
1. Press the Scan option switch to enable scanning. The currently selected  
scan list is momentarily indicated as “Scan x”, where “x” is the list  
number (1-3).  
2. To select one of the other lists, press the number key corresponding to  
the desired list (1-3) and the selected list is then momentarily displayed  
as “Scan x”. The selected scan list is stored in memory and does not  
change until this procedure is repeated.

CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
Programming a Scan List  
When full keypad (15-key) models, each of the three scan lists is  
user programmable if the Scan Edit option switch is programmed and  
user programming of the list is allowed. Scan list programming is not  
available with limited keypad (3-key) models. Proceed as follows to  
program a scan list:  
1. Make sure all scanning is off (neither the standard scan “S” icon or  
radio-wide scan  
icon displayed).  
2. Press the Scan Edit option switch and then within 2 seconds press the  
number key (1-3) corresponding to the scan list you want to edit. If a  
list is not selected within the allotted time, the last active conventional  
standard scan list is automatically selected. The selected list is indicated  
as “SCAN x”. If user programming is disabled on a list, “NO LIST” is  
momentarily displayed and it cannot be edited.  
3. Select the channel you want to add or delete using the  
and  
keys. To change zones, press the F1 key and select the new zone.  
4. If the selected channel is in the scan list, the box  
around “S” is  
indicated in the upper left corner of the display. To add the channel to  
the scan list, press the “1” key, and to delete the channel, press the “2”  
key.  
NOTE: The priority channel cannot be deleted (see “Priority Channel  
Sampling” description which follows).

CONVENTIONAL FEATURES  
Priority channel (see following description)  
Selected channel  
Channel of a call if the response is made before scanning resumes  
Priority Channel Sampling  
General  
The priority channel sampling feature ensures that when standard  
scanning, messages on the priority channel are not missed while listening  
to a message on some other channel. Your transceiver can be  
programmed so that the priority channel is a fixed channel associated  
with the current scan list, the currently selected channel, or not used.  
When the selected channel is a priority channel, Pis indicated in the  
upper right part of the display.  
Priority channel sampling occurs only with Standard conventional  
scanning. It does not occur with Radio Wide scanning, when listening to  
any type of SMARTNET/SmartZone call, or when transmitting. A series  
of “ticks” may be heard when the priority channel is sampled while  
listening to a message on some other channel.  
Changing The Priority Channel  
If a specific priority channel is associated with the current scan list,  
it can be changed if the Priority option switch is programmed. Proceed as  
follows:  
1. Make sure all scanning is off (neither the standard scan “S” icon or  
radio-wide scan  
icon displayed).  
2. Select the channel that you want to be the priority channel using the  
channel selector switch on the top panel. If the channel is in a different  
zone, also select the appropriate zone.  
3. Press the Priority option switch and the “P” icon is displayed to indi-  
cate that the selected channel is now the priority channel.

SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES  
2. Using the 0-9 keys, enter the 6-digit ID of the unit you are calling. Press  
the  
key to erase the last digit entered or press the CLR key to cancel  
the page.  
3. Press the PTT switch or the ENT key to send the page. If the entered ID  
is invalid, “INVALID” is momentarily displayed and the page is not  
sent. If the entered ID is valid, the display indicates the alias of the ID  
if it matches an ID in your call list. Otherwise, the ID you entered  
continues to be displayed. The page is then sent and any of the  
following conditions may then occur.  
If the radio you are paging is on the air and received your page, a  
signaling success tone (six beeps) sounds and the display momentarily  
indicates “ACK RCVD”. The alias of the selected channel is then  
displayed continuously.  
If the radio you are paging is not in service, a tone sounds and “NO  
ACK” is displayed. Press the CLR key to cancel the page.  
Answering a Page  
1. When a page is received, the display alternately indicates “PAGE  
RCV” and the alias of the current channel and a recurring received page  
tone sounds (six beeps) sounds.  
2. To clear and ignore the page, press the CLR key. NOTE: If the CLR key  
is programmed for the Private Call function, it will not clear the page.  
3. Answering a page is the same as placing a private call. Therefore, press  
the Private Call option switch and follow the instructions for placing a  
private call on page 36 or page 39, whichever is applicable.  
Messaging  
The messaging feature allows preprogrammed messages to be sent  
to your dispatcher. Up to 16 messages can be preprogrammed, and they  
are identified by a tag (alias). If a Message option switch is programmed,  
messages are sent as follows:  
45  
 
       
SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES  
1. Momentarily press the Message option switch. The alias of the last  
message sent is displayed.  
2. Enter the index of the desired message if you know it or scroll through  
the list using the  
and  
keys until you find the desired message.  
Press the CLR key to cancel the message.  
3. Press the PTT switch or the ENT key to send the message. When the  
message is received and acknowledged by the dispatcher, a signaling  
success tone (six beeps) sounds and the display returns to the normal  
channel indication. If there is no acknowledgment after 6 seconds, a  
tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed. Press the CLR key to return  
to normal operation.  
Sending Status Conditions  
The status feature allows you to send your current status to your  
dispatcher. Up to eight status conditions can be preprogrammed, and they  
are identified by an alias (name). If the Status option switch is  
programmed, status conditions are sent as follows:  
1. Momentarily press the Status option switch. The alias of the last status  
sent is displayed.  
2. To change the displayed status, enter the index of the desired status if  
you know it or scroll through the list using the  
and  
keys until  
you find the desired status. Press the CLR key to cancel this function.  
3. Press the PTT switch or the ENT key to send the status. When the  
message is received and acknowledged by the dispatcher, a signaling  
success tone (six beeps) sounds and the display returns to the normal  
channel indication. If there is no acknowledgment after 6 seconds, a  
tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed. Press the CLR key to return  
to normal operation.  
46  
 
   
SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES  
Emergency Alarm and Emergency Call  
Emergency alarms and emergency calls are separate functions that  
can be individually programmed on SMARTNET/SmartZone channels.  
The Emergency option switch is required to initiate these features. An  
emergency alarm is a special data transmission to alert your dispatcher of  
an emergency situation, and an emergency call is an urgent request for  
access to a voice channel. The emergency alarm and call are transmitted  
on the emergency talk group or announcement group that has been  
preprogrammed by your system operator on the currently selected  
channel. Proceed as follows to initiate an emergency alarm or call:  
1. To transmit an emergency alarm, select a SMARTNET/SmartZone  
channel that has that feature enabled and then press the Emergency  
option switch.  
2. The emergency alarm is then transmitted and “EMERGNCY” is  
indicated in the display for a short time. Transmitting continues until an  
acknowledgment is received (indicated by two beeps) or the  
programmed number of attempts have occurred. Silent operation may  
also be programmed in which case no audio or visual indication of the  
alarm condition occurs.  
3. To transmit an emergency call, press the Emergency option switch with  
a SMARTNET/SmartZone channel selected that has that feature  
enabled. Then manually press the PTT switch and begin speaking as  
with a standard call. All calls that follow are then emergency calls and  
they occur on the emergency talk group.  
4. To exit the emergency mode, power must be turned off and then on  
again.  
Failsoft Operation  
If a failure occurs in the SMARTNET/SmartZone system so that it  
cannot be used, the transceiver automatically enters the failsoft mode.  
When this mode is selected, the display alternately indicates “FAIL-  
SOFT” and the alias of the selected channel.  
47  
 
     
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.  
48  
 
     
SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES  
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.  
49  
 
     
MISCELLANEOUS  
Locking/Unlocking a Site  
It is sometimes desirable to stay on the current site regardless of  
signal level. To lock the radio on the current site so that it does not search  
for another, press the Site Lock option switch (if programmed). The  
display then momentarily indicates “LOCK x” to indicate that the current  
site is locked (“x” is the current site number). To unlock the site, press the  
Lock switch again and “UNLOCK” is momentarily displayed.  
When locked on a site, it is still possible to search for a different site  
using the site search function described in the preceding section. When a  
new site is found, the radio is then locked on that site.

Rechargeable Battery Pack  
WARNING  
Do not dispose of the battery pack in fire because it may explode. The  
nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) battery pack used by this radio must be  
disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Do not short the termi-  
nals because the battery may become very hot.  
Battery Life  
With proper care, the nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) battery pack  
used by this radio should provide excellent service. When the pack no  
longer holds a charge or provides only a very short operating time, it must  
be replaced with a new unit.  
Typical operating time before recharging is required is approxi-  
mately 7.5 hours. This assumes that the transceiver is transmitting at high  
power 5% of the time, receiving and producing audio 5% of the time, and  
in the standby mode (receive with audio muted) 90% of the time. If the  
low-power mode is selected or different times are spent in these modes,  
52  
 
   
MISCELLANEOUS  
operating time varies accordingly. The charge of the battery and ambient  
temperature also affect operating time.  
NOTE: Be sure to turn transceiver power off before removing the battery  
pack. Failure to do so may result in the current settings not being saved  
in memory.  
Recharging  
Recharging is required when the  
icon appears in the lower  
part of the display. In addition, the amber low-battery indicator on the top  
panel may light and a tone may sound when this condition initially occurs  
and whenever the PTT switch is released. Refer to “Low Battery Indica-  
tion” on page 18 for more information.  
The pack can be recharged while still on the transceiver or it can be  
charged separately. To remove the battery pack from the transceiver,  
press the spring-loaded release button on the side upward and slide the  
battery off. A new battery pack must be charged before use.  
Battery Care  
One cause of shortened battery life is repeated deep discharge.  
Therefore, it is recommended that the battery be recharged as soon as  
practical after the low-battery indication appears (see preceding informa-  
tion). Do not continue using the transceiver until the battery is completely  
discharged. Another cause of reduced battery life is operation at tempera-  
ture extremes. It is also good practice not to regularly leave a pack in the  
charger for extended periods after it is completely charged.  
It is possible that the pack could develop a characteristic called  
“memory” although these packs are designed to minimize that problem.  
When a pack has this problem, it acts as if it is totally discharged even  
though it has greater capacity. This can be caused by discharging a pack  
only slightly before recharging, charging at too high a temperature, or  
extended storage. If a pack develops this problem, it can usually be  
corrected by performing three discharge/charge cycles.  
53  
 
   
MISCELLANEOUS  
Dealer Programming  
As noted several times in this manual, programming determines the  
availability and specific operation of many features. This refers to the  
programming performed by your dealer when the radio was set up, not to  
any programming that you can perform. If a feature is controlled by a  
front panel option switch and that switch is not available, it is probably  
not available or in a fixed condition. Contact your dealer for more infor-  
mation on how programmable functions have been set for your  
application.  
Speaking Into Microphone  
For best results, hold the speaker grille about 1-2 inches from your  
mouth and speak at a normal conversational level. Do not shout since it  
distorts your voice and does not increase range. Make sure that the PTT  
(push-to-talk) switch is pressed before you begin to speak and released as  
soon as the message is complete.  
Operation At Extended Range  
When approaching the limits of radio range, the other party may not  
be able to hear your transmissions and there may be an increase in back-  
ground noise when messages are received. You may still be out of range  
even though you can hear a message. The reason for this is that the signal  
you are receiving is usually transmitted at a higher power level than the  
one transmitted by your transceiver. Communication may be improved by  
moving to higher ground or away from shielding objects such as tall  
buildings or hills.  
Licensing  
A government license is usually required to operate this transceiver  
on the air. Your dealer will normally handle the licensing requirements.  
54  
 
       
INTRINSICALLY SAFE CLASSIFICATION  
Transceiver Service  
If the transceiver begins operating improperly, try turning power off  
and then on again to reset the logic. Also make sure that the battery is  
fully charged and in good condition. If the transceiver still does not  
operate properly, return it to your dealer for service.  
NOTE: There are no user-serviceable components inside this transceiver.  
Altering internal adjustments can cause illegal emissions, void the war-  
ranty, and result in improper operation that can seriously damage the  
transceiver.  
INTRINSICALLY SAFE  
CLASSIFICATION  
Introduction  
“Intrinsically Safe” is a fire safety rating given to this transceiver by  
the Factory Mutual Research Corporation. When equipment is given this  
rating, it is considered safe to use in certain flammable or combustible  
atmospheres. Flammable atmospheres have been categorized by Class,  
Division, and Group as described in the next two sections. The specific  
hazardous atmospheres in which this transceiver has been approved to  
operate are as follows. This information is also listed on the label on the  
back of the transceiver.  
Intrinsically Safe - Class I, II, and III, Division 1, Groups C, D, E, F,  
and G.  
Non-Incendive - Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D.  
Temperature Code - T3C (Battery Pack Part No. 587-8150-136).  
55  
 
         
INTRINSICALLY SAFE CLASSIFICATION  
Classification of Hazardous Areas (Division)  
Hazardous areas are classified as Division 1 or 2 as shown below.  
Since a Division 1 area is considered most hazardous, a transceiver  
approved for a specific Division 1 atmosphere can also be used in the  
same Division 2 atmosphere. The intrinsically safe rating applies to  
Division 1 areas and the nonincendive rating applies to Division 2 areas.  
Class I and II Materials (Gases, Vapors, and Dusts)  
Division  
Area  
1
An area where there is or could be an explosive atmosphere  
most of the time in normal operations.  
2
An area where an explosive atmosphere exists only as a result  
of a fault (something going wrong).  
Class III Materials (Fibers or Flyings)  
Division  
Area  
1
An area in which easily ignitable fibers or materials producing  
combustible flyings are handled, manufactured, or used.  
2
An area in which easily ignitable fibers are stored or handled.  
An exception is in process of manufacture.  
Classification of Atmospheres (Class/Group)  
For the purposes of testing and approval, various atmospheric mix-  
tures have been grouped on the basis of their hazardous characteristics.  
Equipment is approved for a class of material and also for the specific  
group of gas, vapor, or dust in that class. Class I materials include gases  
and vapors, Class II materials include combustible dusts, and Class III  
materials include ignitable fibers or flyings. The typical hazardous mate-  
rials in each group and class are shown in the following table.
