This key must be loaded into the radio with the key-variable loader (KVL) before the rekey request can be sent.Refer to your local key management supervisor for more information.The Global Positioning System (GPS)This feature uses information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your radio, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature.For example, GPS location fixes are very difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky.Understanding the GPS FeatureThe GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location co-ordinates, maximizing your view of clear unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance.Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because you cannot establish a view of a wide area of the sky), the GPS feature of your radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to: •In underground locations•Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles
Advanced FeaturesEnglish77•Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure•Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover•In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your radioEven where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher. Note: Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites are available, your GPS feature only provides an approximate location, usually within 20 meters from your actual location, but sometimes further away.Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location information and the time it takes to obtain it varies depending upon circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from an adequate number of satellites. Note: The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled by the U.S. government and are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature on your radio.Enhancing GPS PerformanceSometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You then see a message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible satellites.To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, please note the following guidelines:•For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.•Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.The Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS)This feature allows you to determine your current location using a location menu, as well as your current distance and bearing in relation to another location. Radio location may be requested and reported over-the-air.Your radio stores up to a maximum of sixty (60) programmable location coordinates, also known as waypoints. When the memory is full, the next waypoints automatically replaces the oldest waypoints in the radio.

Advanced FeaturesEnglish84Trunking System ControlsUsing the Failsoft SystemThe failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.The failsoft condition is indicated by a faint beeping tone every nine seconds (radio unsquelched) until the trunking system returns to normal operation.To continue, in Failsoft, to communicate with other talkgroups, refer to the following procedure.Procedure:1Rotate the Mode Knob to change to a different repeater frequency. 2Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to listen.When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation.Going Out-of-RangeOUT OF RANGE when your radio goes out of the range of the system, it can no longer lock onto a control channel.Procedure:1A low-pitched tone sounds.AND/ORThe display shows the currently selected zone/channel combination and OUT OF RANGE.2Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until:It locks onto a control channel.ORIt locks onto a failsoft channel.OR It is turned off.
Advanced FeaturesEnglish85SmartZone®The SmartZone® feature extends communications beyond the reach of a single-trunked site (antenna location) when operating in a SmartZone system. SmartZone units provide expanded wide-area coverage.SmartZone automatically switches the radio to a different site when the current site signal becomes unacceptable. This usually happens when the vehicle in which the radio is located is driven out of the range of one site, and into the range of another.Under normal conditions, a SmartZone-enabled radio functions invisibly to the operator. However, the operator does have some manual controls on the Control Head – the RSSI menu entry. This button can be used to check, or change, the SmartZone operation.Using Site Trunking FeatureIf the zone controller loses communication with any site, that site reverts to site trunking.The display shows the currently selected zone/channel combination and SITE TRUNKING.Note: When this occurs, you can communicate only with other radios within your trunking site.Locking and Unlocking a SiteThis feature allows your radio to lock onto a specific site and not roam among wide-area talkgroup sites.

Advanced FeaturesEnglish87Trunked AnnouncementThe announcement capability allows you to make announcements to the entire user group, as well as monitor talkgroup calls and other announcements.Announcement calls are handled in two different ways, depending on the trunked central controller configuration. The two types are called ruthless and non-ruthless preemption.•Ruthless Preemption: When a ruthless preemption announcement call is initiated, the requesting radio begins transmitting immediately. All associated talkgroup calls taking place on other channels are immediately halted, and the radios are steered to the announcement call.Transmitting radios continue to transmit until the PTT button is released, at which time they also unmute for the announcement call. Individual calls (Private Conversation and telephone interconnect) are not affected.•Non-Ruthless Preemption: When a non-ruthless preemption announcement is initiated, the initiating unit receives a telephone-type busy tone, followed by a call back when all associated talkgroup conversations end. Once an announcement call is pending, any attempts by other users to initiate a talkgroup call will result in a telephone-type busy tone. These users will not receive a call back until the announcement call is complete.Initiating an AnnouncementIf your radio has been programmed to allow announcement calls: Procedure:1Press the Mode Knob to locate the announcement-group mode.2Press the microphone PTT button to initiate the announcement.

Helpful TipsThe following are suggestions to assist you in troubleshooting possible operating problems.If your radio is locked up or the display shows FAIL 01/09, turn the radio off and then back on. If this does not correct the condition, take the radio to a qualified radio technician for service.If radio operation is intermittent, check with other persons using the system for similar problems before taking the radio in for service. Similar problems indicate a system malfunction rather than a radio failure.If symptoms persist or, if your unit exhibits other problems, contact a qualified radio technician.The cables that connect to the rear of the radio could have live voltage on some of their pins. Do not remove or reconnect these cables. Only a qualified radio technician should perform this task. Service performed by unauthorized personnel may cause the radio to transmit an emergency alarm even if the unit is turned off.!
