MCS 2000 Models II & III

External Alarm

Depending on the accessories ordered and installed

with your radio the external alarm function activates

the vehicle horn or lights if you do not respond to a

call (Page, Trunking Private Call, or Trunking Phone

Call) before a pre-programmed time.

Press button (6) or select HORN/LIGHTS via the

menu to turn the external alarm on. "HORN/LIGHTS

ON" alternates on the display to indicate the feature is

active. Turn the alarm off by pressing button (6) again

or via the menu.

Handset Operation

To select Handset operation, select HANDSET from

the menu and select HANDSET ON. When HANDSET

ON is selected and the handset is removed from the

Hang up box (HUB) audio will be heard only through

the handset speaker and the radio speaker will be

muted for privacy.

When the handset is placed in the HUB, or when

HANDSET OFF is selected from the menu, audio will

be heard through the radio speaker.

Car Radio Mute

If the car radio mute feature is programmed into your

MCS 2000, your standard car radio will momentarily

mute when your MCS 2000 mobile radio is transmit-

ting or receiving. Please contact the person in charge

of your radio system for further information.

Failsoft

The failsoft feature ensures that a conversation is not

interrupted if the trunked system fails. In this mode

communication will be maintained on an open chan-

nel. The failsoft tone will sound every 10 seconds and

the display will alternate between
