Sending a Status Call
This feature allows you to send data calls to the dispatcher
about a predefined status.
Each status can have up to a 14-character name. A maximum
of eight status conditions is possible.
Note: The radio automatically exits the feature, if the feature
inactivity timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle
and the timer expires. You will hear the Menu Inactive
Exit Tone upon feature exit.
Procedure:
Press the preprogrammed Status button and proceed to
Step 3.
OR
Follow the procedure below.
1 < or > to Status.
2 Press the Menu Select button directly below Status.
3 The display shows the last acknowledged status call, or the
first status in the list.
4 U or D to the required status.
OR
Use the keypad to enter a number corresponding to the
location in the status list.
5 Press the PTT button to send the status.
6 When the dispatcher acknowledges, four tones sound and
the display shows Ack received. The radio returns to
normal dispatch operation.
OR
If no acknowledgment is received, a low-pitched tone
sounds and the display shows No acknowledge.
7 Press H to return to the Home screen.
No traffic is heard on trunked channels while Status Calls is
selected. If the radio detects no Status Call activity for six
seconds, an alert tone sounds until you press
H or the PTT
button.
Using the Dynamic Regrouping Feature (Trunking
Only)
This feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign
selected radios to a single special channel so they can
communicate with each other. This feature is typically used
during special operations and is enabled by a qualified radio
technician.
You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled
until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher.
Note: If you try to access a zone or channel that has been
reserved by the dispatcher as a dynamically regrouped
mode for other users, an invalid tone sounds.
