Description
In an unmuted receive condition,
indicates a trunked system central
controller failure. The radio reverts
from trunked operation to a system
similar to conventional radio
repeater operation. Other system
users can be heard sharing the
channel.
Indicates that you have entered a
mode where normal system traffic
will be missed, or you are
attempting something which is not
allowed. Examples include:
forgetting to exit the telephone
interconnect mode after a call
ends (fleet and subfleet calls
cannot be received), attempting to
transmit on a receive-only
conventional mode, attempting to
select a dynamic mode where no
dynamic ID assignment has been
made.
Indicate the volume level when
you press the Vol rocker button on
a quiet channel (models W5, W7,
and W9 only).
Indicates that your present
transmission will soon be disabled.
Indicates that you pressed a valid
key, or you entered a feature
configuration state, or you are
receiving or transmitting in the
clear mode on secure models (with
TX Clear Alert Tones enabled).
