Out-of-Range Radio

When your radio goes out of the range of the system, it can no longer lock onto a control channel.
You hear a low-pitched tone and/or the display shows the currently selected zone/channel combination
and OUT RNG. Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until it locks onto a control channel or
failsoft channel, or if it is turned off.
2.13.3

Site Trunking Feature

If the zone controller loses communication with any site, that site reverts to site trunking. When this
occurs, you can communicate only with the radios within your trunking site.
The display shows the currently selected zone/channel combination and STE TRNK.

Locking and Unlocking a Site

When and where to use: This feature allows your radio to lock onto a specific site and not roam
among wide-area talkgroup sites. This feature should be used with caution, since it inhibits roaming to
another site in a wide-area system.
Procedure:
Use the preprogrammed Site Lock/Unlock button to toggle the lock state between locked and
unlocked.
The radio saves the new site lock state and returns to the Home screen.
