Using the Fail-soft System
ADVANCED FEATURES
The fail-soft system ensures continuous radio
communications during a trunked system failure.
If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into fail-
soft operation and automatically switches to its fail-soft
channel.
The fail-soft condition is indicated by a faint beeping tone
every nine seconds (radio un-squelched) until the trunking
system returns to normal operation.
To continue, in Fail-soft, to communicate with other talkgroup,
refer to the following procedure.
Procedure:
1 Rotate the MFK to change to a different repeater
frequency.
2 Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to
listen.
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your
radio automatically leaves fail-soft operation and returns to
trunked operation.
