pressing the

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

s button. If the status was not sent successfully to the site, the text

associated with the status will flash in the display.

The radio can also be pre-programmed to redesignate the keypad buttons for

ST0 thru ST9 to send status condition. In this configuration the radio status

operation will operate as previously described except the

s button is not

required. The keylight associated with ST0 thru ST9 will indicate which

status is selected.

Message Operation

Message operation permits the transmission of a pre-programmed message

text to an EDACS site.

To send a message, press the

n button (keylight comes on) then press one of

the number buttons (0-9) to select the pre-programmed message text. If no

message text has been programmed for the selected number button, the radio

will display NO ENTRY and a low-pitched tone sounds. A valid selection

will permit the message text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed

time. After the time-out expires or the

m button has been pressed (the m

button will override the time-out period), the message text is selected and will

be transmitted to the site. If the site receives the message properly when

transmitted, a high pitched tone sounds and the

n keylight remains lit. If the

site does not receive the message properly, a low-pitched tone sounds and the

n keylight will blink.

If an incorrect message text was selected or the incorrect number button was

pressed, the message text can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out

period by pressing another number button. The message text selection can also

be cancelled by pressing the

c button prior to the time-out period.

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

the

n button and then the c button prior to the time-out period. If the

message text was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the

message will flash in the display.

EDACS CONVENTIONAL P1 SCAN

EDACS trunked system. If activity is detected on the conventional P1

channel, the radio will unmute and remain on this conventional channel for the

programmable hang time.

The radio must be pre-programmed to designate a button for scan ON/OFF

operation.
