If you try to transmit (press the PTT Switch) on an active smart-PTT channel, an alert tone will be generated, and the transmission will be inhibited. The LED will also blink red to indicate that the channel is busy.
Special Radio Features 4 Special Radio Features Dynamic Regrouping The dynamic regrouping feature allows the dispatcher to temporarily reassign selected radios to a single special channel so that they can communicate with each other. This feature, enabled in each radio by means of the radio service software, is typically used during special operations. You will not notice whether your radio has this feature enabled until a dynamic regrouping command is sent by the dispatcher. Note 1.
Special Radio Features 2. Talk and listen as usual. 3a. For Radios Using Only Softkeys for Zone and Channel Selection — 3b.
Special Radio Features • Select Enable/Disable The dispatcher may classify regrouped radios into either of two categories: select enabled or select disabled. • Select-enabled radios are free to make channel changes to any available channel, including the dynamic-regrouping channel. • Select-disabled radios cannot change channels since the dispatcher has specifically chosen to force the radio to remain on the dynamicregrouping channel.
Special Radio Features PTT-ID Receive The PTT-ID receive feature allows you to see the radio ID number of the radio you are currently receiving. This ID can be a maximum of eight characters and can be viewed by both the receiving radio and the dispatcher. On trunking radios, pressing < or > will replace the displayed ID with the softkey menu selections; pressing O will bring back the ID display.
Special Radio Features Secure Operation Note • Secure operation provides the highest level of commercially available voice security on trunked or conventional channels. Unlike other forms of security, Motorola digital encryption provides signalling that makes it virtually impossible for others to decode any part of an encrypted message.

Special Radio Features Trunking System Controls • Busy Override When a talkgroup call is placed in a SmartZone™ system and the system is not able to obtain voice channels at all necessary sites, a busy tone will be generated. If so programmed in the zone manager and through the radio service software, you may override this busy by performing the following steps: 1. Press the PTT Switch; a busy indication is received. 2. Release the PTT Switch. 3. Press and hold the PTT Switch a second time.
Special Radio Features • Failsoft If a trunking system experiences a complete failure, the radio will revert to failsoft operation and automatically switch to its failsoft channel. During failsoft, the trunking repeaters will transmit a medium-pitched tone every 10 seconds. When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio will automatically leave the failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.
Special Radio Features • Site Trunking If the zone dispatcher loses communication with any site, that site will revert to what is known as “site trunking.” Your radio will alternately display “SITE TRUNKNG” and the currently selected zone/channel combination. When this occurs, you will only be able to communicate with other radios within your trunking site. SITE TRUNKNG • Site View and Change Viewing the Current Site 1. Momentarily press the Site Search Button (if programmed, see page 2). 2.
