Busy Channel Lockout
If enabled via the programming software, this feature can prevent
your radio interfering with other transmitting terminals on the same
channel. If you hold down the PTT key while the channel is in use,
your radio will keep beeping and display text information “Channel
Busy!”, alerting you to transmission prohibition. To stop beeping,
please release the PTT key. When the channel is free, you can
press and hold down the PTT key to transmit.

To stop beeping, please release the PTT key. You must wait for
a certain time period (preset by your dealer) to initiate another
transmission.
If the pre-alert function is set by your dealer, your radio will alert
you to the TOT expiration in advance.
Note: This feature is null in Emergency mode.
Pseudo Trunking

one time slot is already occupied, it can transmit and receive on
the other free time slot, allowing you to communicate timely under
emergent situations.

Signaling Introduction
The radio supports the following signaling. You can ask your dealer
to make appropriate settings on your radio. For detailed informa-
tion, please contact your dealer.
HDC1200
The HDC1200 signaling is compatible with the MDC1200 signaling,
and realizes functions such as PTT ID (Encoding & Decoding),
Emergency (Encoding & Decoding) and Selective Call (Encoding
& Decoding).
Encoding:
1. Hold down the PTT key during normal voice communication to
send PTT ID.
2. Go to the menu “Contact List” and select a required contact.
Then hold down the PTT key to send a selective call (Private
Call/Group Call/All Call).
For encoding, the radio will provide the following indications:
PTT ID/Selective Call: Your dealer can program whether the
radio sounds side tone during encoding or sounds beeps after
encoding.
Selective Call: During encoding, the LED glows red, and the
LCD displays the appropriate call icon (Private Call:
; Group Call: ; All Call: ).After encoding, the LED
glows orange.
Decoding:
For decoding, the radio provides the following indications:
PTT ID: After decoding, the LCD displays the icon and ID
or alias of the transmitting party.
Selective Call: After decoding, the radio provides the following
indications:
Alert:The radio will sound default alert.
LED:The LED glows green.
LCD:If your dealer enables the feature “Display Decode ID”, the
radio will display the appropriate call icon (Private Call: ;
Group Call: ; All Call: ) and alias of the transmitting
party (ID of the transmitting party will be displayed if it is not in the
contact list). If your dealer does not enable the feature “Display
Decode ID”, the radio will display the appropriate call icon only.

your communicati on may be blocked by high build-
ings or frustrated in the underground areas.
You may suffer from external disturbance (such a s
electromagnetic interference).
The GPS antenna is improperly connected. Connect the GPS antenna correctly.
No GPS signal is received. Move to an open and at area, and restart the radio.
