Page 16: Selecting A Zone And Channel
General Radio Operations Selecting a Zone and Channel A zone is a grouping of channels. A channel is a group of radio characteristics such as transmit/receive frequency pairs. After you turn your radio on, select the desired zone and channel. Zone Selection Place the Zone Switch (if programmed, see page 2) to the desired position. -
Page 17: Receiving/Transmitting
Receiving/Transmitting After you have turned your radio on and selected the desired zone and channel, you can receive (listen) or transmit (send) communications as follows: 1b. Press the Volume Set 1a. Listen until Button (if programmed, you hear a transmission. see page 2) to hear the volume set tone. -
Page 18: General Radio Features
General Radio Operations General Radio Features Time-Out Timer The new ASTRO portable radio is equipped with a programmable time-out timer which, upon expiration, will turn off the transmitter. This timer is programmable through radio service software and can be set from 0 seconds (off) to 7.75 minutes (465 seconds), at 15 second increments. -
Page 19: Common Radio Features
Common Radio Features Emergency For radios programmed with the emergency feature, pressing the Emergency Button (if programmed, see page 2) will send out an emergency signal that takes precedence over any other signalling activity in progress on the selected channel. There are two types of emergency signals: •... - Page 20 Common Radio Features 2a. Emergency Alarm During a non-silent emergency alarm state: • the LED will light, • a short, medium- pitched tone will be heard, • when the emergency alarm is acknowledged by the dispatcher, the radio sounds four beeps and the alarm ends.
- Page 21 Exiting the Emergency State It is important that you exit the emergency state when you have finished. There are four ways to exit the emergency state: Press the Emergency Button for approximately 1 second (this time is programmable through radio service software); a medium-pitched, emergency-exit tone sounds until the button is released and the radio returns to normal operation.

Page 25: Repeater/Direct
Common Radio Features Repeater/Direct The repeater/direct feature allows you to bypass the repeater and talk directly to another radio. This is known as DIRECT operation or talkaround operation. The transmit frequency is the same as the receive frequency. In REPEATER operation, you talk through the repeater, which increases the radio’s operating range. -
Page 26: Scan
Common Radio Features Scan The scan feature allows you to monitor activity on different channels by scanning a “scan list.” Each radio can have up to 20 different scan lists. The channels to be scanned can be programmed with the radio service software. Three types of scan lists are available (consult your service technician for additional information): •... - Page 27 Turning Scan On and Off Place the Scan On/Off Switch (if programmed, see page 2) in the “scan on” position or the “scan off” position. Deleting Nuisance Channels When the radio scans to a channel that you do not wish to hear (nuisance channel), you can temporarily delete the channel from the scan list.

Page 28: Selecting Squelch Operation
Common Radio Features Selecting Squelch Operation Tone Private-Line® (PL), Digital Private-Line™ (DPL), network ID, and carrier squelch operations are all available in the same radio on a per channel basis. Network ID is only available on ASTRO “digital” channels Note (consult your service technician). -
Page 29: Special Radio Features
Special Radio Features Dynamic Regrouping The dynamic regrouping feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected radios to a single special channel so that they can communicate with each other. This feature, enabled in each radio by means of the radio service software, is typically used during special operations. You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher. - Page 30 Special Radio Features Talk and listen as usual. When the dynamic regrouping is cancelled by the dispatcher, the radio will automatically return to the present knob/switch zone and/or channel position. Reprogram Request This feature allows you to notify the dispatcher that you want a new dynamic-regrouping assignment.
