Selecting Dvrs Channel; Independent Dvrs Channel Change; Strapped Dvrs Channel Change - Futurecom Mobexcom P25 User Manual

If Mode change by the User is prohibited in the specific DVRS personality, the User can
only select between the 'Strapped' (either LOCAL or SYSTEM) and OFF DVR Modes.

Selecting DVRS Channel

When a 'DVRS Enabled' TG / Channel is selected on the MSU, the User may enter the
'DVRS Control Mode' by pressing the assigned VRS button on the O3/O5/M5 Control
Head and then change the DVRS Mode / Channel / Status as described below:

Independent DVRS Channel Change

To change the DVRS Channel:

Execute a Single Press of the assigned VRS Button / Softkey and observe the
display flashing.

Turn the Control Head Mode selection Knob until the desired DVR Channel appears
on the Display.

If the VRS button is not pressed for 3 seconds the DVR Control Timeout tone (long
high-pitched tone) will be heard in the MSU speaker and the display will stop
flashing.

The last selected (i.e. last displayed on the O3/O5/M5) DVR Channel (and Mode) is
in effect.

Strapped DVRS Channel Change

The DVRS Mode and Channel may be programmed to be Strapped to the specific MSU
TG/Channel.
In this case, selecting a specific MSU TG / Channel would automatically force the DVR
to revert to a given DVR Channel and/or Mode.
For example, selecting a DVR Enabled TG named 'DISPATCH' on the O5 may
automatically force the DVR to switch to DVR Channel 1, SYSTEM Mode.
When Strapping is enabled and the DVR channel follows the MSU TG/mode selection,
the User may still be allowed (if enabled by the DVR programmed personality) to change
the DVR channel by pressing the VRS soft key and then turning the mode knob.
NOTE:
Depending on the specific DVR personality programming, the DVR Channel selection
may be restricted to a short list of allowed DVR channels (or no Channel selection
options at all). If Channel Strapping is enabled then the DVR will always land on the
specified Strapped DVR channel first even when more then one channels are on its
allowed channels list.
For example, when TG named 'DISPATCH' is selected on the O5, the DVR
automatically lands on DVR CH 1 and the User may be allowed to toggle between DVR
Channels 1 and 4 while the selection of DVR channels 2 and 3 may be prohibited.
