  • Page 36: System Scan Operation

    ON at power up. Wide Area System Scan The ORION radio may be programmed for wide area system scan operation for multi-site applications. Upon the loss of the currently selected system's control channel, radios may be programmed to automatically scan the control channels of other systems.
  • Page 37 The radio may be programmed for ProScan system scan operation for multi- site applications depending on the version of radio flash code. (The ProScan algorithm is available on the Orion Platform with Group 32 or higher radio flash code). ProScan is an improved multi-site system scanning algorithm designed to replace the ProSound algorithm.
  • Page 38 Priority System Scan The radio may also be programmed for Priority System Scan. (To ensure that this feature operates correctly, the control channel of the priority system must be located on channel one unless you are using the ProSound / ProScan algorithm).

  • Page 39: Group Scan Operation

    Each system's group scan list is retained in memory when the radio is turned OFF. The Orion mobile radio may also be programmed to provide Trunked Priority Group Scan capability which operates similar to priority scan in Conventional mode.
  • Page 40 Adding Groups To A Scan List 1. With scan operation turned OFF, select the desired group to add to the selected Trunked system group scan list. 2. Press < or > on the SCAN add/delete control. The current priority status of the group will be displayed in column 1 of line one for a time- out period.
  • Page 41 Nuisance Delete A group can also be deleted from the scan list, if it is not the currently selected group, by pressing > during scan operation while the radio is displaying the unwanted group. The group will be deleted from the system's group scan list in the same manner as if done using the steps above.

  • Page 42: Individual Calls

    The radio will monitor for Agency and Fleet calls which correspond to the Agency and Fleet associated with the Priority 1 and Priority 2 groups. Priority Agency and Fleet calls will be indicated by displaying AGENCY or FLEET on the System line of the display and associated Priority 1 or 2 group on the Group line of the display.
  • Page 43 The radio stores the ID's of the last 10 callers in the Calls Received List as shown. Individual calls are stored in the top half of the list (1-10) and group calls are stored in the bottom half of the list (1-10). The most recent call is stored in position 1, the second most recent call is stored in position 2, etc.

    When in the saved call list, pressing OFF. The time stamp indicates how long ago the call was received. The display indicates this information as HH:MM:SS where HH = hours, MM = minutes and SS = seconds. When in the pre-stored list, pressing (LID) on and OFF.

  • Page 45: Telephone Interconnect Calls

    TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT CALLS Receiving A Telephone Interconnect Call (Trunked Mode Only) Receiving a telephone interconnect call is identical to receiving an individual call. See the DTMF Overdial Operation section if access to services requiring "over-dial" is needed. Overdial operations are available for any special call whether it is an individual call or a telephone interconnect call.
  • Page 46 The ORION radio is capable of simplex (one-way) conversation only. The caller can only hear the radio if the PTT button is pressed (the radio is transmitting) and the caller can only be heard when PTT is released (the radio is receiving).
  • Page 47 METHOD 2: Press follow the selection mode rules to call up a stored number from the phone list or to directly enter the overdial digits. Press PTT to send the overdial sequence once. If the number needs to be transmitted again it must be selected or entered again (this prevents unwanted numbers from being sent the next time the PTT button is pressed during the call).

  • Page 48: Mobile Data

    MOBILE DATA The ORION radios when operating in the EDACS configuration permit either voice or data calls to be transmitted or received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a time; however, selection of either data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the radio.
  • Page 49 Data OFF Operation The radio can be placed in the data disable state by any of the following methods. When the data state is disabled, the control unit displays "DATA OFF" on the top line. An ongoing data call is allowed to complete except in the case of declaring an emergency.
  • Page 50 Exiting Data Calls Under normal conditions, the radio enters the scan lockout mode and returns to the control channel after completion of a data call (transmit or receive). If, during a data call, one of the following conditions occurs, the data call is immediately terminated and the radio performs the desired function: PTT activated.

  • Page 51: Status/Message Operation

    STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION Status and message operation is possible with either the Scan or System version of the ORION radio unit. The following procedure is applicable for the System version. For operation with the Scan version the four primary keycaps must be reconfigured and pre-programmed for status/message operation.
  • Page 52 Status Operation Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status condition to the EDACS site. To send a status condition, press the button (keylight comes on) then press one of the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed status. If no status has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio will display NO ENTRY and the radio will sound a low tone.

  • Page 53: Edacs Conventional P1 Scan

    Message Operation Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to an EDACS site. To send a message, press the button (keylight comes on) then press one of the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed message text. If no message text has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio will display NO ENTRY and a low pitched tone sounds.

  • Page 54: Dynamic Regroup Operation

    DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the system manager. The radio must be pre- programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio until an activation message is sent by the system manager.
