Failsoft Operation (Trunked Systems Only)
The “failsoft” system ensures that you will continue
to have radio communications capability in the event of
trunked system failure. During trunked operation, the
radio will automatically go into failsoft operation if the
central trunking controller fails for any reason. While in
failsoft, your radio will transmit and receive on a
predetermined frequency on a conventional, as opposed
to trunked, mode. When the trunked system returns to
normal operation, the radio will automatically leave the
failsoft operation and return to trunked operation.
Clear or SECURENET operation will be determined
b y t h e p r e p r o g r a m m i n g o f t h e s e l e c t e d m o d e
(talkgroup), if so programmed. Otherwise, transmit
operation will be controlled by the position of the two-
position concentric switch. You
will be able to change
from SECURENET operation to clear operation, or from
clear to SECURENET, during a call.
When the radio is in failsoft operation, you will hear
a faint “beeping” sound every ten seconds, and the
radio will become unsquelched. At the same time, the
display will alternate between showing “FAILSOFT” and
the current active trunked zone.
