Making and Receiving Calls

Selecting a Site

A site provides coverage for a specific area. A

Connect Plus site has a site controller and a

maximum of 15 repeaters. In a multi-site network, the

Connect Plus radio will automatically search for a new

site when the signal level from the current site drops

to an unacceptable level.

Roam Request

A Roam Request tells the radio to search for a

different site, even if the signal from the current site is

acceptable.

Note: This is programmed by your dealer.

Press the programmed Roam Request button.

You hear a tone, indicating the radio has switched

to a new site. The display shows Site ID <Site

Number>.

Site Restriction

Your Connect Plus radio system administrator has the

ability to decide which network sites your radio is and

is not allowed to use. Your radio does not need to be

reprogrammed to change the list of allowed and

disallowed sites. If your radio attempts to register at a

disallowed site, you see a brief message stating:

Site <number given> Not Allowed. The radio

then searches for a different network site.

Selecting a Zone

A zone is a group of channels. Your radio supports up

to 250 zones, with a maximum of 160 channels per

zone.
