SmartZone

™
The SmartZone feature extends communications beyond the reach of a single-trunked site (antenna
location) when operating in a SmartZone system. SmartZone units provide expanded wide-area
coverage.
SmartZone automatically switches the radio to a different site when the current site signal becomes
unacceptable. This usually happens when the vehicle in which the radio is located is driven out of the
range of one site, and into the range of another.
Under normal conditions, a SmartZone-enabled radio functions invisibly to the operator. However, the
operator does have some manual controls on the Control Head–the RSSI menu entry. This button can
be used to check, or change, the SmartZone operation.

Site Trunking Feature

If the Zone Controller loses communication with any site, that site reverts to site trunking. When this
occurs, you can communicate only with the radios within your trunking site.
The display shows the currently selected zone/channel and the Site Trunking message.

Locking and Unlocking a Site

When and where to use: This feature allows your radio to lock onto a specific site and not roam
among wide-area talkgroup sites. This feature should be used with caution, since it inhibits roaming to
another site in a wide-area system.
You can toggle the lock state between locked and unlocked by pressing the preprogrammed Site
Lock/Unlock button.
Follow the procedure to lock and unlock a site using the radio menu.
Procedure:
1 or to SITE.
2 Press the Menu Select button directly below SITE.
3 Perform one of the following actions:
• To lock the site, press the Menu Select button directly below LOCK. The display shows SITE
LOCKED.
• To unlock the site, press the Menu Select button directly below UNLK. The display shows
SITE UNLOCKED.
The radio saves the new site lock state and returns to the Home screen.
