    PUD R ADIO PERATIONS ANUAL This manual was written for those people who use 900 MHz radios that are part of the PUD’s radio network system. It gives information and procedures nec- essary for proper usage. It is divided into two parts: Portable Radios (Sections I - IV) and Mobile Radios (Sections V - VIII).

  • Page 8: What Is The Coverage And Transmitting Distance Of The Radio System

    The Telecommunications Department is responsible for maintaining the Ra- dio System. The Telecommunications Department maintains an inventory of radios and batteries, programs the radios and assigns a unit number to each one. In the event of radio system failure, the “failsoft” system allows continued use of radios in a conventional two-way mode until the computer system can be brought back up.

  • Page 9: What Are Talkgroups

    What are Talkgroups? Who’s in Which Talkgroup? A Talkgroup is a connection between a specific group of radios. Each radio unit is assigned to a “home” Talkgroup based on work groups. During day-to-day or storm-related activity, System Dispatch may ask radio users to temporarily select other Talkgroups when the radio unit’s user is assigned to work in another area with a different work group.

  • Page 10: What Happens When The Computer System Fails

    What Happens When the Computer System Fails? The “failsoft” system ensures that you will continue to have radio communica- tions capability in the event of computer system failure. During operation, the radio will automatically go into failsoft operation if the central controller fails for any reason.

Above the character displays are eight status annunciators that indicate some of the radio’s operating conditions. HOME Display Light If poor lighting conditions make the display difficult to read, turn on the radio’s display backlight by pressing a keypad digit (1 - 9).
