you are currently present in a Geofence area. This
TMS remains open on the display until user presses
exit/home to exit this screen.

before you exit the previous message, the message
screen shall be refreshed to show the latest
message.
The following procedure guides you to exit the text
message received.

only works if that channel is configured with Voice
Announcement.

Trunking System Controls

Using the Failsoft System

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio
communications 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, to communicate with other
talkgroups, refer to the following procedure.
1 Rotate the Mode Knob to change to a different
repeater frequency.
