Contacts
ADVANCED FEATURES
This feature provides “address-book” capabilities on your radio.
Each entry corresponds to an alias (name) or ID (number) that you use to initiate a call.
Contact entries are alphabetically sorted according to entry alias. Each alias can have up to 5 IDs of different call types associated with it.
Additionally, each entry, depending on context (conventional, trunking, or phone), associates with Private Call, or Call Alert. Each entry within Contacts displays the following information:
Call Alias (Name)
Call ID (Number)
Call Type (Icon)
WACN ID (Astro 25 Trunking IDs only)
System ID
Note. For Berks County, the contact list is set up only to help display the calling radio Alias. A total of 500 default records are
added to the “Unified Call List” for this purpose. No Hot Lists are set up in the radios. The systems include the Trunking system, ASTRO conventional and MDC conventional. The radio automatically exits the feature, if the feature inactivity timer is enabled, when the radio is left idle and the timer expires.
You will hear the Menu Inactive Exit Tone upon feature exit

Emergency Operation
Special Considerations for Emergencies
If you press the emergency button while in a channel
that has no emergency capability, a low-pitched tone sounds.

mode that has no emergency capability, the display shows NO EMERGENCY and a continuous low­ pitched tone sounds until a valid emergency mode is
selected or until the emergency is cancelled.
When an emergency is active, changing to another
mode where emergency is enabled (trunked or conventional) causes an emergency alarm and/or emergency call to be active on the new mode.

Secure Operations
Secure Operations
Secure radio operation provides the highest commercially available level of voice security on both trunked and conventional channels.Unlike other forms of security, Motorola digital encryption provides signaling that makes it virtually impossible for others to decode any part of an encrypted message.
Berks County’s talkgroup are strapped to clear, or
Encrypted. The Secure/Clear switch is not programmed. In the case of Encrypted, the talkgroups can be either strapped to an AES or ADP key. If needed a list of these Talkgroups can be found in the master fleetmap document provided earlier.

Trunking System Controls
Using the Failsoft System
The failsoft system ensures continuous radio communications during a trunked system failure. If a trunking system fails completely, the radio goes into failsoft operation and automatically switches to its failsoft channel.
The failsoft condition is indicated by a faint beeping tone
every nine seconds (radio unquenched) until the
trunking system returns to normal operation.
To continue, in Failsoft, to communicate with other talkgroups, refer to the following procedure.
1 Rotate the Channel Knob to change to a different
repeater frequency.
2 Press the PTT button to talk, and release the button to
listen.
When the trunking system returns to normal operation, your radio automatically leaves failsoft operation and returns to trunked operation.
