Trunking System Controls

Operating in Failsoft System

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communication during a trunked system failure. If a trunking
system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.
During failsoft operation, your radio transmits and receives in conventional operation on a predetermined
frequency. You hear a medium-pitched tone and the display shows FAILSOFT.
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and
returns to trunked operation.
To continue in Failsoft and to communicate with other talkgroups, refer to the following procedure.
Procedure:
1. Rotate the Mode Knob to change to a different repeater frequency.
2. Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to listen.
