Operating Modes
Your radio supports the following operating modes:
In Trunked Mode Operation (TMO Mode) your radio operates on the
network infrastructure supplied by your service provider.
In Direct Mode Operation (DMO Mode) your radio can transmit directly
to another radio (antenna to antenna). In DMO Mode radio coverage
depends on the position of the caller and the receiving radio. When you
switch to DMO your radio leaves the network and tunes to the selected
DMO talkgroup. See also DMO Mode on the next page.
In Repeater Mode your radio enables two or more radios operating in
DMO Mode to communicate over an extended range, automatically
relaying voice and messages by operating as a repeater. See also Repeater
Mode on page 91.
To change operating mode from the Home screen:
Press the Menu context key, then select Networks > Operating Mode. Scroll
to the mode (highlight it) and press Select.
Alternatively, a soft key may be programmed as a shortcut to this function or
a shortcut may be added to the Shortcut Bar. Open the Shortcut Bar (in the
Home screen press the Shortcut context key), scroll to the Operating Modes
shortcut and then press the Select context key. You can then select the
operating mode.
