Presets are saved and restored to/from non-volatile memory. Changing the User ID (login in as a different
user) will clear the presets since they are stored on a per-user basis. Changing control heads will not recall
presets for the previous control head.

Preset button C can be configured via programming to reboot the radio into a particular
application mode. Contact your system administrator to determine if this feature is
enabled in your radio.

6.32 DYNAMIC REGROUPING

Dynamic regrouping requires that the network administrator determine which radio users should be
formed into an impromptu talk group to respond to particular emergency conditions.

The administrator will edit the personalities of the affected radios to include an emergency profile and
then page the affected radios to re-register with the network to receive their edited personalities.

In response, affected radios automatically re-register to receive their edited personalities. During re-
registration, subscriber equipment will default to the emergency profile selected by the administrator.

6.33 GPS COORDINATES

The radio’s current latitude and longitude coordinates may be displayed using the “GPS” menu. The
following procedure assumes a GPS antenna is connected to the radio and it is receiving adequate signals
from GPS satellites:

1. Press

until the “GPS” menu appears in the bottom line of the display. Current GPS coordinate

latitude and longitude data continuously scrolls in the top line of the display in a
degrees:minutes:seconds format.

2. Use

to change to another menu.

If the internal GPS receiver’s data has expired (30 minutes or more) or is unavailable, the
radio uses the serving base station’s coordinates [GPS (Site) is displayed]. The GPS menu
will also indicate if the data is aged (2 minutes or more) [GPS (Aged) is displayed]

6.34 V-TAC FUNCTIONS

When a mobile radio detects that it is part of a V-TAC configuration, two additional menu items become
available: “Vmode Menu” and “Vchan Menu.” The “Vchan Menu” is available only when a V-TAC is
operating in the special mode referred to as the Scene-of-Incident mode (SOI).

The “Vmode Menu” permits user selection and control of one of four (4) different V-TAC operating
modes:

Extended Coverage for Individual Users (display reads “XCOV”)

Extended Coverage for a talk group (display reads “XCOV-TG”)
