Conventional Failsoft; Emergency Operation - Ericsson EDACS PRISM HP Operator's Manual

Conventional Failsoft

In the unlikely event of a failure of the EDACS Sys-
tem, communications may take place in conventional
failsoft mode. The radio will be automatically directed to
a communications channel set up for this purpose. Dur-
ing this mode of operation, "CONV FS" will be displayed
in the alphanumeric display. An increase in activity on the
channel during conventional failsoft operation may be
noticed, so be careful not to transmit until the channel is
clear.
Operation during conventional failsoft will be the
same as operation on a conventional system, except that
it will not be possible to select a communications chan-
nel, or use emergency and special call. When trunking
is restored, the radio will automatically be returned to
normal operation.
Emergency and Special Call are not operational dur-
ing conventional failsoft. Also, the GROUP will not
operate.

Emergency Operation

The radio's ability to declare an emergency, clear an
emergency, remain locked on an emergency system and
group, and the emergency audio and display freeze can
each be enabled or disabled through programming.
When an emergency is declared scanning will stop and
restarts only after the emergency has been cleared.
