Viking VM600 Mobile Radio Operating Manual 7-3
SMARTNET / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
- If in the secure mode and your radio is not programmed with the proper encryption
key, “KEYFAIL” is displayed and the call must be made in the clear mode or the
proper key must be programmed.
- If the busy tone sounds and “BUSY” is displayed, the system is busy. Release the
PTT switch and wait for the call back tone to sound. Then press the PTT switch
within three seconds.
- If a continuous tone sounds and “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed, you may be out of
range of the site or blocked from it by radio-shielding structures or objects. Drive
away from shielding structures or objects and try again. If this does not work, drive
closer to the site.
- If your unit ID is invalid, the call is being made to an invalid group ID, or group calls
are not enabled, “DISABLED ID” is displayed and an alert tone sounds.
- If an attempt is made to change an analog channel from the clear to the secure mode
and there is no available secure channel, “CLEAR ONLY” is flashed, an error tone
sounds, and the call is terminated.
- If an attempt is made to change an analog channel from the secure to clear mode,
“SECR ONLY” is displayed, an error tone sounds, and the call is terminated. (Calls
on digital channels can be changed if they are not strapped to clear or secure).
- If the Secure mode is selected by the C/S (Clear/Secure) option switch or menu
parameter and an attempt is made to transmit on a channel strapped as Clear,
“CLEAR ONLY” is displayed and the transmitter is disabled. Likewise, if the Clear
mode is selected and the channel is strapped as secure, “SECR ONLY” is displayed
and the transmitter is disabled.
