Responding to the Notification of Upgrade

When and where to use: If a configuration upgrade is downloaded to your radio, an alert tone sounds

1 To accept the upgrade, long press the Top Side (Select) button within 15 seconds of UPGRADE
appearing on the display.

required.

Site Selectable Alerts (ASTRO 25 Trunking)

A Site Selectable Alert (SSA) is an Intelligent Lighting indicator with audio alert. The alert is sent to
radios at sites to notify the users when special situations occur.
Your radio supports up to 250 site aliases. Only authorized radios are enabled to send SSA.
NOTE:
The alert alias, alert tone, and alert period are configured in the Customer Programming
Software (CPS). For more information, contact your system administrator.
The SSA alert volume is reduced when voice audio is received at the same time. It is important
that the SSA audio file is created with clear loud audio to ensure audio clarity at reduced levels.
