Features And Advantages Of Trunking
Features And Advantages Of Trunking
A trunked radio system allows a large number of users to share a relatively small number of frequencies with­out interfering with one another. When a mobile opera­tor keys the microphone to establish communication with someone else in the system, the system automat­ically assigns a communication path - a repeater and its frequency. As soon as the conversation ends, the repeater becomes free for other users. Motorola Trunked Radio System has a central controller that does the automatic frequency assignment.
Some of the key benefits of the overall Motorola Trunked Smartnet Radio System are:
• No channel monitoring required prior to transmis-
sion.
• Fast channel access.
• Automatic channel selection.
• Privacy among members of the same group.
• Uninterrupted conversations
• Only one attempt is required to access the system.
If all channels are busy, the call request enters a queue and the central controller automatically assigns the next available channel.
A high pitched "dih-dih-dit" tone sounds when the call can be made.

Multiple System And Talkgroup Selection
Multiple System And Talkgroup Selec­tion
Multiple System Selection
This radio has ten Systems, eight Talkgroups in each system, and ten Conventional Systems or Channels. MAX638 mobile radios allow the operator to select up to ten systems to be programmed into the radio. Each system may hav e its own unique set of talkg roups, Call Alert paging, and Private Conversation calls. After the system has been selected, there is a delay of about one second before the radio can receive or transmit calls.
Trunked Systems are identified as numbers 1 through 0 (10). This trunked system number is always dis­played on the left of the display.
Conventional Systems or Channels sequentially follow the last trunked system. However, conventional sys­tems appear as a number in the two rightmost digits. The indication that the radio is on a conventional sys­tem is seen when the display shows no letter or spe­cial character.

Multiple System And Talkgroup Selection
TalkGroup Selection
A trunked radio system can divide a system into differ­ent talkgroups. This enables the system owner to organize the talkgroups into communication groups according to function. Members of a specific talkgroup hear only messages intended for their talkgroup.
Talkgroups are identified as letters in the right most position on the display. The system is identified in the middle position. An extended press of the talkgroup button will scroll up the list. Press the PTT switch to transmit. The radio receives only those messages intended for the talkgroup indicated on the display. For example, if talkgroup B is selected, y ou will not receive messages for talkgroup E.
Announcement Call
If the operator has a radio equipped with announce­ment call, it is possible to call all members in the talk­groups list (RSS programmable). If the operator is in announcement call mode and multiple talkgroups are active, only the first call received will be heard.

SmartZone/AMSS Roaming Features
SmartZone/AMSS Roaming Features
SmartZone Operation
Radios that operate in a SmartZone system will enjoy the benefits that SmartZone offers over AMSS opera­tion. SmartZone is a wide-area coverage system that will allow up to 50 sites to be operational in the sys­tem. SmartZone brings several enhancements over AMSS operation such as:
• Dynamic Site Assignment - Allows the zone con-
troller to dynamically assign channels at sites where required, as opposed to bringing up chan­nels at all sites as AMSS systems do.
• Variable Density - Allows sites to have v arying num-
bers of channel resources to accommodate low­density areas as well as high density areas.
• Automatic Site Registration/Deregistration - Smart-
Zone radios automatically send in their unit IDs and current mode selections upon power up, power down, site switches, talk group changes and when they exit emergency operation. This allows the zone controller to know where the radio is at all times and also what talkgroup the radio has selected.
• Enhanced FailSoft Operation - If a site experiences
a complete failure, it will revert to failsoft operation like today’s SMARTNET system. A SmartZone radio, however, can be programmed in the list of control modes. The radio will periodically scan the control mode to check for the presence of a valid control mode (in case the radio roamed into a site which is trunking.)
23
SmartZone/AMSS Roaming Features
• Locking and Unlocking a Site - As in AMSS, you
can force the radio to stay locked onto a site. Yet you can still force the radio to scan to another site while the site is locked. The radio will automatically become site locked to the next site it finds.
• Site Switching in SmartZone - When the radio
(unlocked state) is out of range, it will automatically scan for a new site from list of 32 channels.
Site Lock/Unlock
• If the radio is programmed to include SmartZone or
AMSS, it requires to designate the site from which it should start operating on the system. To do so, choose the proper mode from the mode list.
• In the unlocked mode (automatic roaming), the
radio switches between the repeater sites as one goes out of range and another comes within range. In the locked mode, the radio will remain on the cur­rent site even if you go out of range of that site. Both Site Lock/Unlock and Forced-Site Search are available through the (menu) button.
When you are in Site Unlocked Mode and want to change to Site Locked Mode.

SmartZone/AMSS Roaming Features
Forced Site Search
When you are in a poor coverage area and are not sat­isfied with the automatic site selection of the radio, you can activate the Forced Site Search function to scan for a new site.

Read This Information Before Using Your Mobile Radio
For the safe and efficient operation of your mobile, observe these guidelines.
Your mobile is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the mobile is ON, the externally mounted antenna is the part of the mobile that sends out and receives radio frequency (RF) energy.
• Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy
In 1991 the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engi­neers (IEEE), and in 1992 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) updated the 1982 ANSI Standard for safety levels with respect to human expo­sure to RF energy. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, government health agen­cies, and industry, after reviewing the available body of research, developed this updated Standard. In March, 1993, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) proposed the adoption of this updated Stan­dard. To operate within this updated ANSI Standard, use your mobile as described under "Efficient Mobile Operation".
Efficient Mobile Operation
• DO NOT operate your mobile when a person is
within two feet (0.6 meters) of the antenna unless that person is shielded from the antenna by a metal surface such as the roof of the car. Otherwise you may impair call quality, may cause your mobile to operate at a higher power level than is necessary, and may expose that person to RF energy in excess of the levels established by the updated ANSI Standard.

Important General Safety Information
• DO NOT operate your unit unless all radio fre-
quency (RF) connectors are properly terminated.
• All equipment must be properly grounded accord-
ing to Motorola installation instructions for safe operation.
• All equipment should be serviced only by an autho-
rized technician.
• Antenna Care and Replacement
Do not use the mobile with a damaged antenna. Replace a damaged antenna immediately. Use only the supplied or approved antenna.
Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or attach­ments could damage the mobile and may violate FCC regulations.
• Driving
Check the laws and regulations on the use of mobile radios in the areas where you drive. Always obey them. Also, when using your mobile while driving, please:
• give full attention to driving,
• pull off the road and park before making or answering a call if driving conditions so require.
• Vehicle Electronic Equipment RF energy may effect some electronic systems in
motor vehicles. Check with your vehicle manufac­turer's representative to be sure your mobile will not affect the electronic systems of your vehicle.
33
Important General Safety Information
Consult your physician or the manufacturer of any personal medical devices (such as pace-makers, hearing aids, etc.) to determine if they are ade­quately shielded from external RF energy. The operation of inadequately shielded medical devices may be adversely affected when a mobile is ON.
• Children Do not allow children to play with your mobile. It is
not a toy. Children could damage the mobile, or make calls that increase your service bills.
• Blasting Areas To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn
your unit OFF when in a "blasting area" or in areas posted: "turn off two-wa y r adio." Construction crews often use remote control RF devices to set off explosives.

Radio Care
• Avoid any physical abuse of the radio.
• The radio exterior should be cleaned with a cloth dampened with clean water, a mild liquid soap solu­tion or isopropyl alcohol.
Radio Care
The use of chemicals such as detergents, alcohol
CAUTION
(except isopropyl), aerosol sprays, and petroleum products may be harmful and damage the radio housing.
