If one of these failures occurs, your radio attempts to roam
to a different Connect Plus site. This search process may
result in your radio finding an operable Connect Plus site,
or it may result in your radio finding a Fallback Channel (if
your radio is enabled for Auto Fallback).
A Fallback Channel is a repeater that is normally part of
an operable Connect Plus site, but cannot communicate
with either the site controller or Connect Plus network
at that moment. In Fallback mode, the repeater operates
as a single digital repeater. Auto Fallback Mode supports
non-emergency Group Calls only. No other call types are
supported in Fallback Mode.
6.3.2.1
Indications of Auto Fallback Mode
When your radio is using a Fallback channel, you
hear the intermittent Fallback Tone approximately once
every 15 seconds (except while transmitting). The display
periodically shows a brief message, Fallback Channel.
Your radio only permits PTT on the selected Group Contact
(Group Call, Multigroup Call, or Site All Call). It does not
allow you to make other types of calls.
6.3.2.2
Making/Receiving Calls in Fallback
Mode
NOTE:
Calls are heard only by radios that are monitoring
the same Fallback channel and selected to the
same Group. Calls are not networked to other sites
or other repeaters.
Emergency voice calls or Emergency Alerts are
not available in Fallback mode. If you press
the emergency button in Fallback mode, the
radio provides an invalid key press tone. Display-
equipped radios also show the message, “Feature
not available”.
Private (radio to radio) and Phone calls are not
available in Fallback mode. If you attempt a call
to a private contact, you will receive a denial tone.
At this point you should select a desired group
contact. Other non-supported calls include Remote
Monitor, Call Alert, Radio Check, Radio Enable,
Radio Disable, Text messaging, Location Updates,
and packet data calls.
Enhanced Traffic Channel Access (ETCA) is not
supported in Auto Fallback mode. If two or more
radio users press PTT at the same time (or at
