Log-On
If the radio network requires a Log-On, pushing the
Power Button/Volume Dial will supply power to your
radio, but will not connect it to the OpenSky network.
Your radio will not boot and provision itself until you
use the MDT keyboard to log on with your User ID.
Even if you want to use your radio for non-network
traditional RF communications, you’ll still need to log
on to the network first, then select Talkaround Mode to
work off-network.
Ø How to Log On to the Network
1.) Push the Power Button/Volume Dial. Your
radio’s vacuum fluorescent display panel will glow
to indicate Power Up.
2.) If required by the radio network, use the Mobile
Data Terminal (MDT) Keyboard to enter your
User ID. If your system doesn’t require a Log-On,
the radio proceeds through the Startup Sequence.
3.) Wait through the Startup Sequence, which lasts
approximately 10 seconds.
During this time your radio is provisioned with
your customized radio personality, emergency
conduct and user specifications, all designed for
your specific needs by the Network Administrator
and prompted by your User ID.
