The portable Fireground Communications System is designed for deployment at an incident scene.
It consists of central components that provide on-scene and inbuilding radio coverage, and enhanced
personnel accountability and monitoring:
• Your APX portable radios
• Incident Management Software
• Command Terminal
• Radio Frequency (RF) Modem (Conventional Only)
• Control Channel Radio (Trunking)
• Optional Data Radio (Trunking)
• Accountability Server (Trunking)
• DVRS (Optional)
If you have a critical situation, you can press the Emergency button which activates an alarm on the
Incident Management Software at the command terminal.
The command terminal receives the following status updates from your radio:
• Turning the radio on and off
• Automatic response to Polling
• Response to Evacuation commands
• Pressing the PTT button to make voice transmission
• Sending an Emergency Alarm and Call
• Entering or Exiting a Trunking Talkgroup
6.6.1
Entering Fireground Zone Channel (Conventional)
Procedure:
1 Upon powering up, one of the following scenarios occurs:
• If the Fireground Zone Channel is set as default, you hear the gurgle tone and the radio
displays the home screen. You are in Fireground zone channel.
• If the Fireground Zone Channel is set as default, but you hear a short, low-pitched tone, the
display shows REG FAIL to indicate that the command terminal does not respond to
Fireground Zone Channel. Get a qualified technician for assistance.
• If your home channel is not Fireground Zone Channel, toggle or change the radio zone
channel to Fireground Zone Channel.
