2 BIIS 1200 OPERATION
■ BIIS 1200 operation
The Binary Interchange of Information and Signalling (BIIS) 1200 standard is the best choice to add a data service to an existing system. It enables digital communications, signalling and message exchanges with analog transceivers.
The BIIS system provides calling features such as Individual, Group, and Emergency calls, as well as enables receiving and transmitting status messages and SDM.
NOTE: During BIIS 1200 operation, dPMR operation is 
disabled.
■ BIIS display
The following displays appear in BIIS 1200 operation.
CONNECT : When an acknowledgement of an Individual or Group call is received.
OK |
: When an acknowledgement of a message (sta- |
|
tus message or SDM) is received. |
FAILED |
: When no acknowledgement of a call is re- |
|
ceived. |
WAIT |
: While transmitting. |
CLR DOWN : When a connection is terminated.
BUSY : When the operating channel is busy.

2 BIIS 1200 OPERATION
■Transmitting a call
D General
• Editing an ID
If the transceiver has a key assigned to the TX Code Enter function, you can edit an ID within the allowable digits.
qPush [TX Code Enter] to enter the ID edit mode.
• The digit to be edited blinks.
wPush [TX Code Enter] to select a desired digit to be edited.
ePush [CH UP] or [CH DOWN] to select a desired number. rPush [TX Code Enter] to set. The digit to the right will au-
tomatically blink.
tRepeat step e and r to input all allowable digits.
yAfter editing, push [TX Code Enter] to store the setting.
• The transceiver returns to the standby mode.
NOTE: To overwrite the original ID, set the ‘Update’ item
to “Enable” using the CS-F3160/F5060 (dPMR) cloning
software. Otherwise, changing the channel or turning
OFF the transceiver discards the new ID, and returns the 
original one. Ask your dealer for details.
D Transmitting an Individual or Group call
NOTE: If you want to make a call to the pre-programmed 
ID, skip step q and w then directly go to step e.
qPush [BIIS Button] to enter the call code memory mode.

ePush [Call] to make a call.
•“WAIT” appears while transmitting.
•“CONNECT” is displayed when an acknowledgement is received.
NOTE: If no acknowledgement is received, the trans-
ceiver automatically repeats the call three times (de-
fault). However, when no acknowledgement is received
after each of the calls, an error beep sounds and
“FAILED” is displayed. In that case, the transceiver au-
tomatically returns to the stand-by mode.
rAfter “CONNECT” is displayed, hold down [PTT] and speak into the microphone at your normal voice level. Release [PTT] to receive.
