SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
6.6.2 Initiating a Page
To initiate a page by recall from a list:
1 With a SMARTNET/SmartZone or P25 trunked channel selected, momentarily press
the ALERT option switch. The tag (alias) of the last ID called is displayed.
2 If required, rotate the Select switch to display the desired mobile. The tag of each
number is displayed.
3 Press the PTT switch and one of the following then occur:
- If five beeps sound, the system received the page and the paged mobile is on the air
and received it. The page mode is automatically exited.
- If the system received the page but the called mobile is not on the air, a single beep
sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed six seconds after the PTT switch is pressed. Auto
exit then occurs.
6.7 Messaging
The messaging feature allows preprogrammed messages to be sent to your dispatcher. Up
to 16 messages can be preprogrammed, and they are identified by an alias. Messages are
sent as follows:
Note This feature is not available with P25 trunked operation.
1 Momentarily press the Message option switch (or select the menu parameter). The alias
of the last message sent is displayed.
2 If required, rotate the Select switch to display the desired message. Then send the
message by momentarily pressing the PTT or Select switch. A single beep sounds when
the Select switch is pressed (if that option is selected). One of the following then
occurs:
- If five beeps sound and “ACK RCVD” is displayed, the message was received and
automatically acknowledged by the system.
- If after five tries the message is not acknowledged, a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is
displayed.
Note Only the message number assigned to the alias is sent– not the actual text of the alias. For
example, If MSG 1 is assigned to alias “In Service”, “MSG 1” is sent– not “In Service”.
