Failsoft Operation
In the event of a trunked system
failure, radio communication is still
possible in the failsoft mode. When
the trunking controller fails and the
system is within range, the radio will
automatically enter failsoft.

“Beep”
While in failsoft, the radio operates on a pre-determined
frequency in a non-trunked (conventional) manner.
The radio will remain unmuted on the failsoft channel and a faint
beep will be heard every ten seconds to indicate the radio is in failsoft.
Press the PTT to transmit in failsoft mode, and release it to listen for a
response.
When the trunked system returns to normal operation, the radio
will automatically leave failsoft and the failsoft tone will stop. The radio
will resume normal trunked operation.
In order to receive pages and telephone calls, radios must be
turned on, currently on the same trunked system as the caller, and not
engaged in voice traffic.
