STATUS is selected you need to enter the number of the status message you intend to transmit. If no
status has been programmed for the selected number key, the radio will display
NO ENTRY . A valid
selection will permit the status text to appear in the display for a pre-programmed time. After the time-out
expires or the  key has been pressed (the  key will override the time-out period), the status is selected
and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can be polled by the site at a
future time. Status messages can also be programmed for single key operation so that a single press of a
key assigned to a status message automatically transmits that message. If the site does not receive the
status properly, the radio will sound a low pitched tone.
The status selection can also be cancelled by pressing the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period.
To view the currently selected status after it has been transmitted, press the  key and then the  key to
ramp to STS, re-press the  key again and then the CLEAR button prior to the time-out period. If the
status was not sent successfully to the site, the text associated with the status will flash in the display.
9.26.2 Message Operation
Message Operation is performed in the same manner as status operation in the previous section.
9.27 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION
Dynamic Regroup Operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the
system manager. The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping. Dynamic regrouping will
not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives
and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the  button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup
groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate
REGRP_0x
where "x" is a
digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user). If the radio is in
dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display will show
NO
ENTRY
. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for
scanned groups.
9.27.1 Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and
the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic
group.
9.28 MACRO KEY OPERATION
Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"
keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input
(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION buttons, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when
pressed or when released.
A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key
is activated.
For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or
administrator.
