■ Position data transmission

Only transceiver versions with the GPS unit installed can
transmit position data.

The longitude and latitude position data can be automatically
transmitted when:

• When Status 24 (GPS request) is received.

• When [PTT] is released.

- Set the ‘Send with Logoff’ item to “Enable.”

• After sending a status message.

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

• After sending an SDM.

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

• After sending Status 22 (Emergency).

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

• After sending an Emergency call with the Man Down func­tion.

- Set the ‘Send at ManDown’ item to “Enable.”

• By the Automatic Position Data Transmission function.

When the function is activated, the transceiver auto-

matically transmits position data according to the ‘Time
Marker’ and ‘Interval Timer’ settings.

- Set the ‘Auto’ item to “Enable.”

■ Man Down Emergency Call

Depending on the transceiver’s version, this function is not
available.

When the transceiver has been left in a horizontal position
for a specified time period*, the transceiver enters the emer­gency mode, and then a countdown starts.
After the specified time period* has passed, an emergency
call is automatically transmitted once, or repeatedly. (See the
previous page for details.)

If the transceiver is placed in a ver tical position before the
first transmission, the transceiver exits the emergency mode
and the emergency call is cancelled.

* Depending on the presetting. Ask your dealer for details.

■ Stun function

If a call is received with a specified ID, set as the killer ID, the
stun function is activated and the transceiver is disabled. In
that case, entering the password is necessary to reactivate
the transceiver.

11

BIIS 1200 OPERATION

2

■ BIIS ANI

Your own ID can be transmitted each time [PTT] is pushed
(log-in) or released (log-off) during Individual or Group call
communications.

By receiving an ANI, the communication log can be recorded
when using a PC dispatch application.

In addition, when using the ANI with the Log-in function, the
PTT Side Tone function can be used to inform you that the ID

is sent and communication can begin.

■ Printer connection

When the OPC-1862 optional cable is connected to the trans­ceiver, a printer can be connected to print out the received
SDM content and the ID of the station that sent the mes­sage.

Ask your dealer or system operator for connection details.

D Talk back function

The Talk Back function allows you to select the same call
mode (Analog or Digital) as the received call.
If the received call is a digital signal, the Talk Back function is
activated for Voice and Emergency calls, and depending on
the preprogrammed settings, also for status messages and
SDM.

When the channel type is “Mixed-Digital”

After receiving an analog signal, “ANALOG” is displayed
during the Talk Back timer period, depending on the prepro­grammed settings. When [PTT] is pushed before or during the
Talk Back timer period, you can transmit an analog signal.

When the channel type is “Mixed-Analog,” “Mixed-Digital”
or “Digital”

After receiving a digital signal, the calling station’s ID or the
Talkgroup ID is displayed until receiving a ‘Disconnect’ sig­nal, depending on the preprogrammed settings. Even on a
“Mixed-Analog” channel, when [PTT] is pushed before re­ceiving a ‘Disconnect’ signal, the Talk Back function allows
the transceiver to transmit a digital signal to the ID.

NOTE: When this function is not activated, the transceiver
always transmits analog signals on “Mixed-Analog” chan­nels, and digital signals on “Mixed-Digital” channels.

• On these channels, the transceiver can receive both analog and

digital signals, regardless of the Talk Back function.
