IDAS OPERATION

IDAS operation ■

The transceiver provides Icom Digital Advanced System
(IDAS) that meets the 6.25 kHz emission mask requirements
for narrow banding, and increases efficiency of channel al­location and use of spectrum using the NXDN common air
interface.

IDAS Conventional operation D

The IDAS Conventional system enables efficient conventional
operation in the digital mode.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the ➥
conventional zone.

Multi-site conventional operation D

The Multi-site Conventional system can support up to 16
sites (each site has one repeater) through an IP network, and
enables efficient conventional operation in the digital mode.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the ➥
Multi-site conventional zone.

Single-site Trunking operation D

The Single-site Trunking system enables further effective
channel management by sharing a minimum number of chan­nels with a large number of users.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select a ➥
Single-site Trunk zone.

Multi-site Trunking operation D

The Multi-site Trunking system can support up to 48 trunked
sites through an IP network. This enables the users to com­municate with stations through the interlinked trunked site.
Each site can have up to 30 repeaters.

Push [Zone], then push [CH Up] or [CH Down] to select the ➥
Multi-site Trunk zone.

NOTE: During the Single-site or Multi-site Trunking opera­tion, you can receive and transmit digital calls in the same
way as in the conventional mode.

Transmitting a call ■

IDAS operation allows you to make a call to a specific station
(Individual call) or to a particular group (Talkgroup call). Other
digital mode transceivers on the channel will not receive a
call that does not match their individual or talkgroup ID and/or

Transmitting an Emergency Call D

When [Emergency] is held down for a specified time period,
a digital command emergency signal is transmitted once or
repeatedly* on the emergency channel. When no emergency
channel is specified, the signal is transmitted on the operat­ing channel.

* When the Repeat Cancel function is ON, the transceiver cancels

repeating after receiving an acknowledgement. When the Repeat
Cancel function is OFF, the transceiver repeats calling according to
the number of repeat cycles, even after receiving an acknowledge­ment.

Individual or Talkgroup call types of emergency calls can be
preset. If the call type is not preset, the default or selected
call type is used.

If you want to cancel the emergency call, hold down the key
again before transmitting the call.
The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep sound­ing, and the LCD lighting, depending on the presetting. (Silent
operation)
The transceiver can also be programmed to keep the micro­phone open during an emergency call, which allows monitor­ing of the situation.
Ask your dealer for details.

IMPORTANT: It is recommended an emergency channel be
separately set to provide reliable emergency call operation.

NOTE:

If the Digital Request Ack function is activated, the trans­ceiver transmits an emergency call with a request to send
back an acknowledgment.

For your reference—Power OFF Emergency function ✓

< For the IC-F5220D/IC-F6220D series transceivers>

When the [Power OFF Emergency] key is assigned, the
transceiver can transmit an Emergency call, even though it
appears to be OFF.

While holding down [Power OFF Emergency], push [
turn OFF the power to activate the Power OFF Emergency
function.
The transceiver enters the emergency mode, and starts
counting down to transmit the Emergency call, even though it
appears to be OFF.

When the function is activated, any key operation, hanger ac­tion, Lone Worker function, LED and speaker are disabled.
However, the transceiver transmits Emergency calls accord­ing to the emergency settings.

Position data transmission ■

When a GPS receiver is connected to the transceiver, the lon­gitude and latitude position data can be automatically trans­mitted when:

• A GPS request status message is received

• After sending a voice message

- Set the ‘Send with Login’ and ‘Send with Logoff’ items to
‘Enable.’

• After sending a status message

- Set the ‘Send with Status Call’ item to ‘Enable.’

• After sending a message

- Set the ‘Send with SDM Call’ item to ‘Enable.’

• After sending a Call Alert

- Set the ‘Send with Call Alert’ item to ‘Enable.’

• After sending an Emergency call

- Set the ‘Send with Emergency’ item to ‘Enable.’

Ask your dealer or system operator for a GPS receiver con­nection details.

Status message transmission ■

The status message can be automatically transmitted.
The status message is transmitted when:

• The transceiver is turned ON or OFF

- Set the status message to be transmitted in ‘Power ON Status’ or
‘Power OFF Status’ item, respectively.

- Set the target station ID in ‘Power Status ID,’ ‘Power Status ID for
Single-site Trunk’ or ‘Power Status ID for Multi-site Trunk.’

• After sending a voice message

- Set the ‘Send with Voice Call’ item to ‘Enable.’

- Set the status message to be transmitted in ‘Send Status Num­ber’ item.

Auto CH Reserve function ■

If enabled, this feature is effective when a subscriber attempts
to push [PTT] while the site is in an “All Trunks Busy” status,
and/or is still “Receiving a Downlink” at the time the [PTT] is
pushed.

In the event of an “All Trunks Busy” condition, and/or a “Re­ceiving a Downlink” condition, a quick [PTT] push results
in the transceiver going into a waiting for an open repeater
mode. When an open repeater signal is received by the trans­ceiver, the transceiver handshakes and holds the channel for
the preprogrammed time period. After receiving a handshake
beep, the transceiver will hold the channel for this period be­fore it releases it. The operator must then key up their trans­ceiver to communicate. Failure of the operator to push [PTT]
before this timer expires results in a loss of the channel grant
and another push of the [PTT] will be required.

When the preprogrammed CH Reserve Timeout timer elaps­es, the transceiver returns to its default state.

Talk Back function ■

The Talk Back function allows you to select the same call type
(Individual or Talkgroup) for the received call.
When the Talk Back timer is set to 0 seconds, this function is
not activated. Ask your dealer for details.
If this function is cancelled by pushing [Digital Button] or any
key on a 10-key keypad, or after the Talk Back timer period
has passed, the transceiver automatically returns to the de­fault call type.
If the received call is a digital signal, the Talk Back function is
activated only for Voice Call, Call Alert, Status Message and
Message.*

* Depending on the presetting, the Talk Back function is activated

only for Voice Call.

Roaming function ■

(Multi-site Trunking mode only)

The Multi-site Trunking mode allows the transceiver to move
to another site, according to the preprogrammed roaming
list*, in order to find a site that has a higher quality signal, or
provides better services.
The Roaming function is automatically activated when the
transceiver goes out of the range and does not receive the
downlink signal from the repeater in the currently registered
site.
* Up to 48 valid roaming areas are listed on the roaming list.

Ask your dealer for details.

Depending on the preprogrammed settings, the transceiver tries
to register to the repeater that has the strongest RSSI level in
the last registered site or adjacent site. This roaming type takes
time than other roaming types. Ask your dealer for details.

Site Lock function ■

(Multi-site Trunking mode only)

The [Site Lock] key allows you to lock the transceiver to the
currently registered site, and the roaming and the background
scans are inhibited.

Push [Site Lock] to turn the Site Lock function ON or OFF. ➥
