To set the Audible Alarm and Alert LED:
In any object menu:
1. Press T to scroll to any of the following
settings.
• LED Mode: Solid or Flash controls whether
the LED remains on solid or flashes when the
object is active.
• LED Color: 0-7 sets the color of the LED. By
default, color 0 is used for LED off. You can
change the preprogrammed LED colors in
the Global Settings menu.
• Latch LED: Keeps the LED on after activity
on the object is finished. This is useful when
you need to know if an object was active
while you were away from the scanner.
• Backlight: Off, On, Flash controls whether
the backlight remains off, comes on solid or
flashes when the object is active.
•
Alarm: None, Chirp, Hi-Lo, Alert, Ring,
2-Chirp, Fast Hi-Lo, DTMF # are used to set
audible alarms that play each time activity is
found on the object.
2. Press W or X to select the desired option.
3. When finished, press SAVE softkey to save
your changes to the radio’s configuration

Multi-Site Mode On Networked Systems
Some Motorola and P25 systems include a large
number of sites that are networked together to
provide radio coverage to a large geographical
area. These types of trunked radio systems
are more commonly used for large statewide
systems, and for some systems that are used in
large, rural counties.
As a system user moves around, or “roams,” in
the coverage area of the network, their radio will
automatically find and use the nearest tower site.
Each tower site includes a number of channels.
One of these channels is used for control channel
data, and the remaining channels are used for
voice traffic. As a user moves away from the
coverage of one site, the radio will search other
control channel frequencies for a better site to use.
Multi-site can be enabled by editing the trunking
system (TSYS) parameters for a Motorola or
P25 system. Multi-site can be set to Off, Stat
(Stationary) or Roam. By default, Multi-site is set
to Off.
The ROAM setting is ideal for those times when
you are driving around in the service area of a
networked trunked radio system, as it allows the
radio to find and use the best tower sites as you
move in and out of the coverage footprints of
different sites.
The STAT (stationary) setting is ideal for those
times when you are not moving and are within
range of more than one tower site, as it will allow
you to monitor traffic from any tower that you are
within range of.
To activate Multi-site mode on a Motorola or
P25 networked system:
1. Press
PGM to enter Program Mode.
2. Press S, T, W or X to navigate to a
talkgroup on the networked multi-site system.
3. Press
EDIT softkey, then CURR softkey.
