11.7 STATUS/MESSAGE OPERATION

Status operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed status condition to the P25 Trunked or

EDACS site. Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message text to a P25

Trunked or EDACS site.

11.7.1 Status Operation

To send a status condition, press the  key followed by  or  key to select the pre-programmed

status. STATUS and 0 through 9 pre-programmed status selections are available from the menu. If

STATUS is selected you need to enter the number of the status message you intend to transmit. If no

status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display NO ENTRY. A valid

selection will permit the status text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out

expires or the

 key has been pressed (the  key will override the time-out period), the status is selected

and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a

future time. Status messages can also be programmed for single key operation so that a single press of a

key assigned to a status message automatically transmits that message. If the site does not receive the

status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.

The status selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period.

To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the

 key and then the  key

to ramp to STS, re-press the

 key again and then the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period. If the

status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the display.

11.7.2 Message Operation

Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the previous section.

11.7.3 Dynamic Regroup Operation

Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the

system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will

not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives

and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.

Pressing and holding the CLEAR/MONITOR button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the

dynamic regroup groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate

REGRP_0x where "x" is a digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled

by the user). If the radio is in dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped,

the display will show NO ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in

this condition except for scanned groups.

11.7.4 Emergency Operation

If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and

the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic

group.
