Operating in Failsoft System

The failsoft system ensures continuous radio
communication 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 and to communicate with other
talkgroups, refer to the following procedure.
1 Rotate the Mode Knob to change to a different
repeater frequency.
2 Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button
to listen.
