it is possible that none of the transmissions will be
understood by receiving radios.
Making calls in Fallback mode is similar to normal
functioning. Simply select the group contact you wish to
use (using the radio’s normal channel selection method),
and then press the PTT to start your call. It is possible that
the channel may be in use already by another group. If
the channel is in use, you receive a busy tone. You may
select Group, Multi-group or Site All Call contacts using
your radio’s normal channel selection method. While the
radio is operating on the Fallback Channel, the Multigroup
operates just like other Groups. It is only heard by radios
that are currently selected to the same Multi-group.

Returning to Normal Operation
If the site returns to normal trunking operation while you are
in range of your Fallback repeater, your radio automatically
exits Auto Fallback mode. You hear a registration "beep"
when the radio successfully registers. If you are in the
range of an operable site (that is not in Fallback mode),
you may press the Roam Request button (if programmed
for your radio) to force your radio to search for and register
on an available site. If no other site is available, your radio
returns to Auto Fallback mode after searching is complete.
If you drive out of coverage of your Fallback repeater, your
radio enters Search mode.

Scan
This feature allows your radio to monitor and join calls for
groups defined in a pre-programmed scan list. When scan
is enabled, the LED blinks yellow when idle.
