the n keylight remains lit. If the site does not receive the message properly, a low-pitched tone
sounds and the n keylight will blink.

text can be changed during the pre-programmed time-out period by pressing another number
button. The message text selection can also be cancelled by pressing the c button prior to the
time-out period.

12.12 EDACS CONVENTIONAL P1 SCAN
This feature permits the radio user to scan a pre-programmed conventional system and channel as a Priority
1 (P1) channel while the radio is selected for EDACS trunked system. If activity is detected on the
conventional P1 channel, the radio will unmute and remain on this conventional channel for the
programmable hang time.
The radio must be pre-programmed to designate a button for scan ON/OFF operation.
12.13 DYNAMIC REGROUP OPERATION
Dynamic regroup operation permits multiple talk groups (up to eight) to be added to a radio via the
Communications Systems Director (CSD). The radio must be pre-programmed to respond to regrouping.
Dynamic regrouping will not be activated in a radio until an activation message is sent by the system
manager. Each radio that receives and acknowledges regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the C (Scan Model) or c (System Model) button for 2.5 seconds toggles
the user into and out of the dynamic regroup group set. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The
display will indicate REGR_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.
12.13.1 Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed group set on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME
group and the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will exit dynamic regroup and declare the
emergency on the HOME group. If no EMER/HOME group is present, the radio will declare the
emergency on the currently selected dynamic regroup group.
