For example, if your radio is stolen and is being
used illegally, your system administrator can
send a signal which will stun the radio making
it incapable of being used. This feature is also
useful if the system is being abused by a user
who is not complying with the correct

The radio can only be unstunned, i.e. returned
to operational use, by an unstun signal sent
from the system administrator or returning the
radio for reprogramming.
