on which they operate. Once HOME has been pressed
while the "SCAN" display is being shown, the display will
change to show the first eligible mode name. If the
mode is already in the list, "N PRI" will be lit. The Sel
button toggles the "N PRI" light on and off, indicating
whether or not the displayed mode is in the scan list.
(Recall that priorities cannot be designated in the talk-
group scan list; all modes are equally nonpriority.)
Press Mode and Sel to scroll through the eligible modes
and edit the list, as described in section X. A. Type II
fleetwide announcement modes and dynamic regroup-
ing modes cannot be entered into the list.
C. Priority Talkgroup Scan
1. Description
Trunked models designated as "C4," "C5," "C7," or
"C9" have priority talkgroup scan. This feature allows
monitoring (scanning) of up to 16 modes, all of which
must be on the same trunked system, or all of which
must be conventional modes.
On a SMARTNET radio, if the radio is programmed
for priority talkgroup scan operation, and if the trunked
system is properly equipped, then three levels of priority
can be assigned to the modes in the scan list.
Priority talkgroup scan can be fixed-list; there is a
different scan list for each trunked personality and for
each conventional mode. For operator-select, there is
one list per trunked system, and one list for all the con-
ventional modes.
2. Editing Priority Talkgroup Scan Lists
If the selected mode is contained in a trunked per-
sonality programmed for priority talkgroup scan, then
you will be able to enter up to 15 modes from within the
same trunked system to the scan list. Or, if the selected
mode is conventional, then you will be able to enter any
other conventional mode to the scan list. When HOME
is pressed while "SCAN" is displaying, the display will
change to show the first eligible mode name. If the
mode is already in the list, either "PRI" or "N PRI" will be
lit. Press Sel to add modes to the list and/or change
their priority status in exactly the same manner as con-
ventional mode slaved scan (refer to section X. A).
Press Mode and Sel to scroll through the eligible modes
and edit the list, as described in Section X.A.
XI. CHANGE RADIO-WIDE PARAMETERS
After selecting "RADIO" from the top level menu,
press HOME. The display changes to "HOME SEL."
Press Mode to access other selections available at this
level (depending on the model you have): PHONE,
STATUS, MESSAGE, SITE, MPL NAME, ST NAME,
RAC, and EXIT. Press HOME to select the one you
wish to modify.
XII. SELECT RADIO HOME MODE
One of the enabled modes in the radio is the "home"
mode that you can access quickly by pressing the
HOME button. The default home mode, as shipped
from the factory, is the first mode, "MODE 1."
Select "RADIO" from the top level menu. With
"RADIO" displayed, press HOME to enter the "HOME
SEL" menu. Press HOME ; the display changes to a
mode number/name (for example, "MODE 1"). The
mode name flashes to indicate that a selection is
expected. Press Mode up or down to scroll through all
the modes in your radio, and to the "EXIT" display.
When the display is flashing the mode you want to
designate as the radio's home mode, press HOME to
select it. The new home mode is defined and the dis-
play changes back to "HOME SEL." Press Mode up or
down to scroll to "EXIT"; press HOME to return to the
top level menu.
In a zone mode radio, the HOME SEL selection will
sound a bad-key tone when HOME is pressed. For
a zoned radio, the home mode can only be modified
via the radio service software.
XIII. EDIT PHONE LIST
The "PHONE" menu is much like the "CALL" menu.
Use it to assign up to nine names and numbers to the
radio's repertory phone list. Each list location has two
operator-programmable elements: the name and the
number. Not all radios have phone-interconnect capa-
bility. The "PHONE" menu is not seen on models that
have no phone-interconnect capability.
After selecting "RADIO" from the top level menu,
press HOME. With "HOME SEL" displayed, press
Mode up to scroll to the "PHONE" menu. Press HOME;
the display changes to alternating displays; for example,
"PHONE 1" displays for two seconds, then
the number (if programmed) displays for two seconds.
The default name, as shipped from the factory, is
"PHONE X." The alternating display continues until you
press Mode to go to another location, or you press
HOME to select the displayed unit for editing.
1. To Edit the Phone Name
With the display alternating, press HOME. The dis-
play defaults to "PHONE X" (or previously edited name)
and the first character flashes. Change the name by
pressing VOL and Mode (or keypad if present), just like
you would change a mode or call list (see paragraph
VIII). If you do not wish to change the name, or after
you finish editing it, press HOME to save the changes
and/or advance to the phone number.
