ISOLATED SITE OPERATION
Isolated Site Operation (ISO) allows group call communications to continue within a single cell site when connectivity to the network is lost by allowing the cell to operate in a local, one cell only mode. In Phone and Private Conversation modes the display will update to include "-Isoft" on the first line. Talkgroup communications will be limited to only those units that are connected to the ISO cell, and only on the talkgroup or Talkgroup Mode (depending on Scan setting) that the subscriber unit last used before the cell entered the ISO state.
Advanced Features
Entering ISO
The mobile will enter the ISO state when its cell becomes isolated from the network, assuming the mobile has no available neighbor cells. It will display one of the following screens: (The LED indicator is off in ISO unless the unit is transmitting. While transmitting, the LED will be green).

Private Call Mode
Note: If the mobile is powered on in an ISO cell, it will enter the ISO state if there are no available neighbor cells.
Advanced Features
Initiating a Group Call
If the mobile has Scan enabled when the site enters ISO, the mobile will be able to initiate a call on its Primary Talkgroup and can respond to calls started on either the Primary or any Secondary Talkgroup. The mobile will not be able to select a new Talkgroup Mode while in ISO condition. If the mobile has Scan disabled when the site enters ISO, the mobile will be able to initiate and respond to calls on the Primary Talkgroup only.
Exiting ISO
When the cell returns to normal operation, the unit will revert back to standard operation. The green LED indicator will resume blinking.
If the unit goes out of range of the ISO cell and has no available neighbor cells, the unit will go out of service.
