Advanced Features in Connect PlusModeAuto FallbackAuto Fallback is a system feature that allows you tocontinue to make and receive non-emergency callson the selected Group Contact in the event of certaintypes of Connect Plus system failures.If one of these failures occurs, your radio attempts toroam to a different Connect Plus site. This searchprocess may result in your radio finding an operableConnect Plus site, or it may result in your radio findinga “Fallback Channel” (if your radio is enabled for AutoFallback). A Fallback Channel is a repeater that isnormally part of an operable Connect Plus site, but iscurrently unable to communicate with either its sitecontroller or the Connect Plus network. In Fallbackmode, the repeater operates as a “stand-alone” digitalrepeater. Auto Fallback Mode supports non-emergency Group Calls only. No other call types aresupported in Fallback Mode.Indications of Auto Fallback ModeWhen your radio is using a Fallback channel, youhear the intermittent “Fallback Tone” approximatelyonce every 15 seconds (except while transmitting).The display periodically shows a brief message,“Fallback Channel”. Your radio only permits PTT onthe selected Group Contact (Group Call, MultigroupCall, or Site All Call). It does not allow you to makeother types of calls.Making/Receiving Calls in Fallback ModeNote:Calls are heard only by radios that are monitoring thesame Fallback channel and selected to the sameGroup. Calls are not networked to other sites or otherrepeaters.Emergency voice calls or Emergency Alerts are notavailable in Fallback mode. If you press theemergency button in Fallback mode, the radioprovides an invalid key press tone. Display-equippedradios also show the message, “Feature notavailable”.Private (radio to radio) calls are not available inFallback mode. If you attempt a call to a privatecontact, you will receive a denial tone. At this pointAdvanced Features in Connect Plus...170English
you should select a desired group contact. Other non-supported calls include Remote Monitor, Call Alert,Radio Check, Radio Enable, Radio Disable, Textmessaging, Location Updates, and packet data calls.Enhanced Traffic Channel Access (ETCA) is notsupported in Auto Fallback mode. If two or more radiousers press PTT at the same time (or at almost thesame time), it is possible that both radios transmituntil PTT is released. In this event, it is possible thatnone of the transmissions will be understood byreceiving radios.Making calls in Fallback mode is similar to normalfunctioning. Simply select the group contact you wishto use (using the radio’s normal channel selectionmethod), and then press the PTT to start your call. Itis possible that the channel may be in use already byanother group. If the channel is in use, you receive abusy tone and the display will say “Channel Busy”.You may select Group, Multi-group or Site All Callcontacts using your radio’s normal channel selectionmethod. While the radio is operating on the FallbackChannel, the Multigroup operates just like otherGroups. It is only heard by radios that are currentlyselected to the same Multi-group. Enhanced Privacyis supported in Fallback mode.Returning to Normal OperationIf the site returns to normal trunking operation whileyou are in range of your Fallback repeater, your radioautomatically exits Auto Fallback mode. You hear aregistration “beep” when the radio successfullyregisters. If you are in the range of an operable site(that is not in Fallback mode), you may press theRoam Request button (if programmed for your radio)to force your radio to search for and register on anavailable site. If no other site is available, your radioreturns to Auto Fallback mode after searching iscomplete. If you drive out of coverage of yourFallback repeater, your radio enters Search mode(display indicates “Searching”).Radio CheckIf enabled, this feature allows you to determine ifanother radio is active in a system without disturbingthe user of that radio.

— Option Board Codeplug VersionChecking for UpdatesConnect Plus provides the ability to update certainfiles (Option Board Codeplug, Network FrequencyFile and Option Board Firmware File) over-the-air.Note: Check with the dealer or network administratorto determine whether this feature has been enabledfor your radio.Any display Connect Plus radio has the ability toshow its current Option Board OTA Codeplug CRC,Frequency File version or Option Board firmware fileversion via a menu option. In addition, display radiosthat have been enabled for over-the-air file transfercan display the version of a "pending file". A "pendingfile" is a Frequency File or Option Board firmware filethat the Connect Plus radio knows about via systemmessaging, but the radio has not yet collected all ofthe file’s packets. If a display Connect Plus radio hasa pending file, the menu provides options to:— See the version number of the pending file— See what percentage of packets has beencollected so far— Request the Connect Plus radio to resumecollecting file packetsIf the radio is enabled for Connect Plus over-the-airfile transfer, there may be times when the radioautomatically joins a file transfer without first notifyingthe radio user. While the radio is collecting filepackets, the LED rapidly blinks red and the radiodisplays the High Volume Data icon on the HomeScreen status bar.Note: The Connect Plus radio cannot collect filepackets and receive calls at the same time. If youwish to cancel the file transfer, press and release thePTT button. This causes the radio to request a call onthe selected Contact Name, and it will also cancel thefile transfer for that radio until the process resumes ata later time.There are several things that can make the filetransfer process start again. The first example appliesto all over-the-air file types. The other examples applyonly to the Network Frequency File and Option BoardFirmware File:— The radio system administrator re-initiates theover-the-air file transfer.Advanced Features in Connect Plus...239English
— The Option Board's pre-defined timer expires,which causes the Option Board to automaticallyresume the process of collecting packets.— The timer has not yet expired, but the radio userrequests the file transfer to resume via the menuoption.After the Connect Plus radio finishes downloading allfile packets, it must upgrade to the newly acquiredfile. For the Network Frequency File, this is anautomatic process and does not require a radio reset.For the Option Board Codeplug File, this is anautomatic process that will cause a brief interruptionto service as the Option Board loads the newcodeplug information and re-acquires a network site.How quickly the radio upgrades to a new OptionBoard firmware file depends on how the radio hasbeen configured by the dealer or systemadministrator. The radio will either upgradeimmediately after collecting all file packets, or it willwait until the next time that the user turns the radioon.Note: Check with your dealer or system administratorto determine how your radio has been programmed.The process of upgrading to a new Option Boardfirmware file takes several seconds, and it requiresthe Connect Plus Option Board to reset the radio.Once the upgrade starts, the radio use will not beable to make or receive calls until the process iscompleted.Firmware FileFirmware Up to DateNote: If the Option Board firmware file is not Up toDate (and if the radio has partially collected a morerecent Option Board firmware file version) the radiodisplays a list with additional options; Version,%Received, and Download.1 to access the menu.2 or to Utilities and press to select.3 or to Radio Info and press to select.4 or to Updates and press to select.5 or to Firmware and press to select.The display shows Firmware is Up to Date.Advanced Features in Connect Plus...240English
