Out-of-Range Radio
Your radio can no longer lock onto a control channel when out-of-range from the system.
When out-of-range, your radio shows the following indications:
● A tone sounds.
● The display shows the currently selected zone or channel combination, and out-of-range notification.
Your radio remains in this out-of-range condition until it locks onto a control channel or failsoft channel, or if it
is turned off.

SmartConnect
SmartConnect allows your radio to maintain voice communication when LMR is out of range by switching to a
Wi-Fi, LTE through Tethered Data Modem and Satellite through Ethernet.
Before switching broadband connections, your radio compares the relative signal strength of the various
broadband connection types to one another, as well as LMR. Your radio remains or returns to LMR when
all the other broadband connections fall below the quality thresholds. SmartConnect selects Wi-Fi over
LTE when both broadband connections are considered the same quality according to the SmartConnect
quality threshold. Otherwise, the highest quality broadband adapter is selected. In addition, a radio operating
on a lower priority broadband connection returns to the higher priority or quality connection while idle on
SmartConnect.
Your radio can connect through a fixed Wi-Fi access point in buildings or in-vehicle Broadband modem such
as the following modems:
● Motorola Solutions VML750
● Sierra Wireless MP70
● Sierra Wireless GX450
Your radio displays the SmartConnect capable icon on the SmartConnect enabled channel. While
switching from LMR to SmartConnect, your radio displays Searching Site. When the device is connected to
an available network, your radio displays the SmartConnect Connection icon.
Your radio displays Out of Range when both LMR and SmartConnect are unavailable.
NOTE:
The SmartConnect feature is only applicable for SRX 2200 Enhanced (BN) models and must be
programmed by a qualified radio technician. For more information, contact your system administrator.

Site Trunking Feature
If the Zone Controller loses communication with any site, that site reverts to site trunking. When this occurs,
you can communicate only with the radios within your trunking site.
The display shows the currently selected zone or channel, and the site trunking message.
