Note: You cannot switch to Repeater Mode if the radio is in Transmit
Inhibit on page 85 or if the radio has initiated an alarm call (see Emergency
operation on page 33) which has not been cleared.
Caution: If you select Transmit Inhibit Mode while your radio is
operating in Repeater Mode, the radio leaves Repeater Mode and it stops
functioning as a Repeater.
Note: If you are going to leave a repeater unattended for long periods of
time, or as a permanent installation in a remote location, we recommend
that you configure it as required (select and attach the required Direct
Mode talkgroup) and then power the radio off. This will save the
configuration; each time the radio is powered on again, it will re-start with
the saved configuration. This will ensure that the radio is always running
with the correct repeater configuration even if it turns on unexpectedly
after circumstances such as power failures.
Switching to Repeater Mode
To switch to Repeater Mode see Operating Modes on page 87.
Note: Before you can use the radio as a repeater you must select a Direct
Mode talkgroup.
Changing talkgroups in Repeater Mode
You can change talkgroups while your radio is operating in Repeater Mode in
the usual way (see Talkgroups and folders on page 46.)
Caution: If you change to a different DMO talkgroup it may (depending
on the customisation) terminate any calls active through the repeater.
Using the Emergency Button in Repeater Mode
Caution: If you use the Emergency Button when your radio is operating
in Repeater Mode, any calls that are currently active through the repeater
will cease. When the Alarm Call is subsequently cleared, the radio may not
necessarily remain in Repeater Mode.
