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 of range. Your radio remains in this out-of-
range condition until it locks onto a control channel, it
locks onto a failsoft channel, or it is turned off.
SmartZone
™
The SmartZone
feature extends communications
beyond the reach of a single-trunked site (antenna
location) when operating in a SmartZone system.
SmartZone units provide expanded wide-area
coverage.
SmartZone automatically switches the radio to a
different site when the current site signal becomes
unacceptable. This usually happens when the vehicle
in which the radio is located is driven out of the range
of one site, and into the range of another.
Under normal conditions, a SmartZone-enabled radio
functions invisibly to the operator. However, the
operator does have some manual controls on the
Control Head – the RSSI menu entry. This button can
be used to check, or change, the SmartZone
operation.
Site Trunking Feature
If the zone controller loses communication with any
site, that site reverts to site trunking.
The display shows the currently selected zone/
channel combination and Site trunking.
