Auto-Range Transponder System (ARTS)
ARTS is an analog-only feature designed to inform
you when your radio is out-of-range of other ARTS-
equipped radios.
ARTS-equipped radios transmit or receive signals
periodically to confirm that they are within range of
each other. Your dealer can program your radio to
transmit or receive the ARTS signal.
Your radio provides indications of states as follows:
• First-Time Alert – A tone sounds and the display
shows In Range
after the channel alias.
• ARTS-in-Range Alert – A tone sounds, if
programmed, and the display shows In Range
after the channel alias.
• ARTS-Out-of-Range Alert – A tone sounds, the
LED rapidly blinks red, and the display alternates
between Out of Range and the home screen.
Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP)
Your radio can be updated by your dealer remotely,
via OTAP, without needing to be physically
connected. Additionally, some settings can also be
configured via OTAP.
While undergoing OTAP, the LED blinks green.
Note:
When the radio is receiving high volume data,
the High Volume Data icon appears and
channel is busy. A PTT button press at this
time may cause a negative tone to sound.
Once the programming is complete, depending on
your radio’s configuration:
•
A tone sounds, the display shows Updating
Restarting, and your radio restarts (powers off
and on again).
•
Select between Restart Now or Postpone.
Selecting Postpone allows your radio to return to
the previous display, with an OTAP Timer icon
visible, for a period of time before the automatic
restart occurs.
Upon power up after the automatic restart occurs, the
display shows Sw Update Completed if the OTAP
update is successful or Sw Update Failed if the
OTAP update is unsuccessful.
See Software Update on page 184
for your updated
software version.
