4.3 Home Zone-Channel Select
If the HOME zone option switch is programmed, pressing it selects the preprogrammed
home zone and channel. This provides a quick way of returning to a frequently used zone
and channel. Pressing and holding this switch until a tone sounds makes the currently
selected zone the new Home zone. The radio is also programmed so that either the home
or last selected zone/channel is automatically selected when power is turned on (see
Section 3.1). A secondary Home Zone, Home2, may also be programmed.
4.4 Power Output Select
Each conventional channel and SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 Trunked system can be
programmed for High, Low, or Switchable transmit power. If Switchable power is
programmed on the channel or system, the Tx PWR option switch can then be used to
select high or low transmitter power. All models support switchable power.
Pressing the TX PWR switch toggles the power setting. The new level is flashed in the
display when this switch is pressed as “HI POWER” or “LOW POWER”. If selectable
power is not permitted on the current channel or system, the fixed power level is flashed
and no power change occurs. The selected power level is permanent until it is manually
changed again.The power levels are set at the factory or when the radio is tuned using the
PCTune™ software. The factory default low power setting is one-half the high power
setting.
4.5 Alert Tone Select
The various alert tones that sound are described in Section 7.1. These tones can be enabled
and disabled if the TONE option switch is programmed. To turn all tones off, press this
switch and “TONE OFF” is displayed. Then to turn all tones on again, press it and “TONE
ON” is displayed. If this switch is not programmed, tones are fixed in the on or off
condition by programming. Alert tones are totally disabled when the Surveillance mode is
programmed (see
Section 4.9).
The Alert Tone volume can be adjusted relative to the volume control setting. This is done
by programming and also by the user if the TN VOL option switch is programmed.
Relative levels of –170 to +170 can be set with “0” the default setting. A minus value
decreases the tone volume and a plus value increases it. The user adjusted level
permanently overrides the programmed level if applicable.
