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 almost the same time), it is possible that
both radios transmit until PTT
is released. In
this event, 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 scan icon appears on the
status bar and the LED blinks yellow when idle.
Starting and Stopping Scan
Note:
This procedure turns the Scan feature On or
Off for all Connect Plus zones with the same
Network ID as your currently selected zone.
