Failsoft Operation - Motorola MTX-800 Classic User Manual

Failsoft Operation

In the event of a trunked system
failure, radio communication is still
possible in the failsoft mode. When
the trunking controller fails and the
system is within range, the radio will
automatically enter failsoft.
While in failsoft, the radio
operates on a pre-determined
frequency in a non-trunked
(conventional) manner.
The radio will remain unmuted
on the failsoft channel and a faint
beep will be heard every ten seconds
to indicate the radio is in failsoft.
Press the PTT to transmit in failsoft
mode, and release it to listen for a
response.
When the trunked system returns
to normal operation, the radio will
automatically leave failsoft and the
failsoft tone will stop. The radio will
resume normal trunked operation.
In order to receive pages, Private
Conversation calls, and telephone
calls, radios must be turned on,
currently on the same trunked system
as the caller, and not engaged in
voice traffic.
