5.13.2 BUSY OVERRIDE
The busy override feature allows a call to be
placed even if all of the sites you are calling do not
have a free traffic channel. This feature is enabled and
disabled by the system manager, and it operates as
follows:
1. Assume that you have attempted to place a call and
the system was busy (“BUSY” displayed and busy
tone sounded).
2. Release the PTT switch and then press it for 5
seconds or more. If a chirp-like tone sounds with the
PTT switch pressed, busy override is occurring.
NOTE: Remember that not all members of the talk
group are receiving your message. Missing mem-
bers will start receiving your message as channels
become available.
5.13.3 DETERMINING CURRENT SITE AND
SEARCHING FOR A NEW SITE
To determine the current radio site and the signal
level of that site, press the
SEARCH option switch.
The display then indicates the current site number as
“SITE xx” and the RSSI (Receive Signal Strength
Indicator) signal level as “RSSI xx”. This mode is then
automatically exited.
To scroll through the other programmed sites,
rotate the Select switch while “Site xx” or “RSSI xx”
is displayed (holding the button down causes the func-
tion to repeat). To select the displayed site, press the
SEARCH option switch again. If site lock is on when
site search is entered (see following), the radio will be
locked on the new site when this function is exited.
5.13.4 LOCKING/UNLOCKING A SITE
It is sometimes desirable to stay on a site. To
prevent the transceiver from searching for a new site,
it can be locked on the current site. To lock on the
current site, press the
LOCK option switch and the
display then momentarily indicates the site alias which
indicates that it is locked. To unlock the site, press the
LOCK option switch again and “UNLOCK” is
momentarily displayed.
