The radio may sound five beeps, followed by a repeating double beep. The double beep continues until registration is
successful.
Service is lost
If access to the trunking system is lost,
play shows No service.
The radio sounds five beeps to indicate the loss of service, followed by a repeating double beep. The double beep con-
tinues until service is restored.
Site trunking operation
During normal trunking operation, your radio may roam between a number of sites. This behavior is transparent to
you, unless there is a problem with a system controller. When this happens, the radio enters 'site trunking' mode, and
you will only be able to communicate with users within a single site.
While in site trunking mode, the display shows Site Trunking, and the radio sounds a repeating double beep. The
double beep continues until normal service is restored.
When access to the zone controller is available again, the radio automatically returns to normal multi-site operation.
P25 phase 1 features not supported in P25 phase 2
If the user tries to use a P25 phase 1 feature which is not yet supported in P25 phase 2, the radio may show a system
error.
P25 phase 2 fallback mode
If there is a fault on the phase 2 network, operation may fall back to phase 1 mode.
Failsoft operation
Your radio may be programmed to enter 'failsoft' mode when service is lost due to failure of a trunking site controller.
For information about failsoft mode, see

Making a Talkgroup Call

A talkgroup is a collection of radios on a trunking system. Trunked talkgroups are found in the Channels menu, along
with conventional channels that may also be available for the currently selected zone.
Depending on how the radio is programmed, you may be able to press a function key, use the Quick Access menu or
use the channel selector to select a trunked talkgroup.
In some situations, the call will not proceed. For an explanation of the radio behavior, see
