SMARTNET/SMARTZONE FEATURES

1. When this command is received, an alternating tone sounds for 5

seconds, the transceiver automatically changes to that channel, and the

display indicates the tag (alias) of the channel.

2. Manually select the channel corresponding to that tag. If this is not

done, transmission still occurs on the new channel, but an alternating

tone sounds each time the PTT switch is pressed.

3. Talk and listen as usual. The dispatcher will cancel dynamic

regrouping. If a standard channel is not selected after this occurs, an

error tone periodically sounds.

SmartZone Features

Introduction

As described on page 27, the SmartZone

mode provides wide area

coverage by allowing roaming between SMARTNET and conventional

sites. SmartZone operation is the same as SMARTNET with the

following additional features:

Busy Override

The busy override feature allows a call to be placed even if all of the

sites you are calling do not have a free traffic channel. This feature is

enabled and disabled by the system manager, and it operates as follows:

1. Assume that you have attempted to place a call and the system was busy

(“BUSY” displayed and busy tone sounded).

2. Release the PTT switch and then press it for 5 seconds or more. If a

chirp-like tone sounds with the PTT switch pressed, busy override is

occurring.

NOTE: Remember that not all members of the talk group are receiving

your message. Missing members will start receiving your message as

channels become available.
