Tait TM8250 Operator's Manual - Changing Your Network

Operating in MPT trunked mode 91

Checking that your network is available

Check that the amber LED is glowing and the network 

symbol 

 appears in the display. The amber LED glows and 

the network symbol is shown whenever your radio has 

access to the MPT trunked network.

If the amber LED and the network symbol are flashing, your 

radio is attempting to access the MPT trunked network. If 

these indicators remain flashing, your radio may be out of 

the network coverage area.

Changing your network

Your radio may be programmed to operate in up to four 

completely separate trunking networks. You may wish to 

change networks because you are out of the network cover-

age area, or you need to have access to another trunking 

network. To change your radio’s operating network, you may 

be able to either:

■

use the Main menu, or

■

dial the new network using the alphanumeric keys.

Using the Main menu to change networks

followed by the name of the new network.

4

Check that the amber LED is glowing and the network 

symbol 

 appears in the display. If the amber LED and 

network symbol keep flashing, you may be out of the 

coverage area of this network.
