Key Press Alert; Dual Control Switching; Operation; Turning On The Radio - Ericsson EDACS ORION Operator's Manual

KEY PRESS ALERT

A short tone or "beep" sounds to indicate a key has been pressed. A short
low-pitched tone indicates no action was taken because the key is not active
in the current mode.

DUAL CONTROL SWITCHING

When control is switched to a previously idle control unit, two short high-
pitched tones will sound at the control unit where PTT was pressed, that is
now the active controller.

OPERATION

The ORION mobile radio unit can be programmed to operate in either a
trunked system or a conventional system or both. Operating features and
functions have been grouped according to the type of system the radio is op-
erational. This first section contains general operating procedures (e.g., Turn-
ing On The Radio). The second section, TRUNKED MODE
OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a
trunked system (e.g., Group Scan). The third section, CONVENTIONAL
MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used
in a conventional system (e.g., Squelch Adjust). The fourth section,
TRUNKED OR CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers those
operating procedures that may be used in either a trunked or conventional
system (e.g., Multiple Radio Operation).

TURNING ON THE RADIO

Rotate the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise, out of detente to
turn the radio on. A short beep (if enabled through programming) indicates
the radio is ready for operation. The display indicates, if programmed, the
last selected system name on line one and the last selected group or channel
name on line two.
In the EDACS trunked environment, if communication with the system's
control channel cannot be established, the CC SCAN message will be dis-
played. This may occur if, for example, the radio is out of range of the trunk-
ing site. It may be necessary to move to another location or select another
trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for trunked mode op-
erations.
