BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT (BCL)
On Conventional channels, if BCL is set up by your dealer, you will be unable to
transmit on the channel if it is already in use. Under these circumstances, use a
different channel or wait until the channel becomes free.
However, if BCL Override has also been programmed, you can transmit over the
current signal:
1
Press and hold the PTT switch.
If the channel is already in use, a warning tone will sound.
●
2
Release the PTT switch, then press and hold the PTT switch again within half a
second.
3
Speak into the transceiver as you would during a normal call.
OUT OF RANGE
On NXDN Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate
when it is out of range. When it can no longer communicate with any site, an out of
range tone sounds and "Out of Range" appears on the display.
If enabled by your dealer, an In-service Tone will sound when an available control
channel is detected after the out of range tone has sounded. For details on the in-
service tone, consult your dealer.
NETWORK FAILURE
On NXDN Trunking channels, if set up by your dealer, the transceiver will indicate a
network condition on the registered site. "Network Fail" appears on the display when
the transceiver receives a network disabled message.
CONTROL CHANNEL HUNT
On NXDN Trunking channels, the transceiver must search for a control channel.
While searching for a control channel, no signals can be received. The search begins
automatically when you change to a Trunking channel.
While hunting for a channel, the antenna indicator will flash. When a control channel has
●
been found, the antenna indicator remains on the display without flashing.
