Trunking System Controls
This chapters explain the trunking system control features in your radio.
6.13.1
Operating in Failsoft System
When and where to use:
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.
Procedure:
1 Rotate the 16–Position Select Knob to change to a different repeater frequency.
2 Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to listen.
6.13.2
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 of range notification. 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.
6.13.3
SmartConnect
SmartConnect allows your radio to maintain voice communication when LMR is out of range by
switching to a Wi-Fi, LTE through Tethered Data Modem and Satellite through Ethernet.
Before switching broadband connections, your radio compares the relative signal strength of the
various broadband connection types to one another, as well as LMR. Your radio remains or returns to
LMR connection when the other broadband connections fall below the quality threshold. In addition, a
radio operating on a lower priority broadband connection returns to the higher priority or quality
connection while idle on SmartConnect.
NOTICE: This feature must be preprogrammed by a qualified radio technician. Contact your
system administrator for more information.
Your radio can connect through a fixed Wi-Fi access point in buildings or in-vehicle Broadband modem
such as the following modems:
•
Motorola Solutions VML750
•
Sierra Wireless MP70
•
Sierra Wireless GX450
