OPERATION
The M7100
IP
Series mobile radio unit can be programmed to operate in a
trunked system, a conventional system, or both. Operating features and
functions have been grouped according to the type of system the radio is
operating in. This first section contains general operating procedures (e.g.,
Turning the Radio On). The second section, TRUNKED MODE
OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used in a
trunked system (e.g., Group Scan). The third section, CONVENTIONAL
MODE OPERATION, covers those operating procedures that are only used
in a conventional system (e.g., Squelch Adjust). The fourth section,
TRUNKED OR CONVENTIONAL MODE OPERATION, covers those
operating procedures that can be used in either a trunked or a conventional
system (e.g., Multiple Radio Operation).
TURNING THE RADIO ON
Rotate the POWER ON-OFF/VOLUME knob clockwise, out of detent to
turn the radio on. A short beep (if enabled through programming) indicates the
radio is ready for operation. The display indicates, if programmed, the last
selected system name on line 1 and the last selected group or channel name on
line 2.
In the EDACS trunked environment, if communication with the system's
control channel cannot be established, the CC SCAN message will be
displayed. This can occur if, for example, the radio is out of range of the
trunking site. It may be necessary to move to another location or select
another trunking system to re-establish the control channel link for trunked
mode operations.
SELECTION MODE RULES
Many operations require selection from a list such as system, group or phone
number. This selection process is handled in the same manner for all lists. The
RAMP controls,
, and ., SEL, 0-9, *, #, the DEL button, and the c
button are used during the selection process. The following example systems
list is used to explain the process:
NOTE
The hookswitch functions the same as the c key in I-Call,
phone call, and menu modes.
