■ MDC 1200 system operation

The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiv­er’s capabilities. It allows PTT ID, Selective Calling (SelCall),
Call Alert, Radio Check, Stun, Revive, Status, Messaging and
Emergency signaling.

An additional feature of the MDC 1200 system found in Icom
transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the system
has a unique ID number. Aliasing substitutes the ID number
with an alphanumeric name. For transmit, you can use this
alias to select a transceiver to call. For receive, the alias of
the calling station is displayed instead of the ID.

Please confirm that your dealer has set one of the program­mable keys ([UP], [DOWN], [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3] or [P4]) for
MDC 1200 system operation.

NOTE: During MDC 1200 system operation, BIIS 1200

system and IDAS operations are disabled.

D Transmitting an Emergency Call

When [Emergency] (described in the instruction manual) is held
down for a specified time period, the emergency signal (digital
command) 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.

This function is usable in transceivers whose revision number is 3.0

or later. Ask your dealer for details.

Individual or Talkgroup type of emergency calls can be pre­set. If the call type is not preset, the default or selected call
type is used.
This function is usable in transceivers whose revision number
is 2.9 or later. Ask your dealer for details.

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, allowing monitoring of
the situation.

Ask your dealer for details.

IDAS OPERATION

IMPORTANT: It is recommended to setup a separate emer­gency channel to provide reliable emergency call opera­tion.

NOTE:
When the Digital Request ACK function is activated, the
transceiver transmits the emergency call with a request to
send back an acknowledgment.
This function is usable in transceivers whose revision num­ber is 2.9 or later for the Individual call, and 3.0 or later for
the Talkgroup or All Call. Ask your dealer for details.

■ Sending a Status message

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’.

• A voice message is sent.

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

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

■ Sounding a Horn

An automatic honking function can be used if a horn is con­nected to the D-Sub 25-pin connector of the transceiver.
When a status message is received, the transceiver honks
the vehicle’s horn for the specified time period to indicate a
status message is has been received.

This function is convenient when the operator is away from
the transceiver.

Ask your dealer or system operator, or refer to the IC-F5061/
F6061 series service manual for connection and setting de­tails.

■ Connecting a Printer

When a printer is connected to the D-sub 25-pin of the trans­ceiver, the received SDM content and the caller station ID can
be printed out.
Ask your dealer or system operator for connection details.

■ Encryption function

■ ATB Ring Back 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 con­dition of “Receiving a Downlink,” 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 pre-programmed 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 pre-programmed CH Reser ve Timeout timer
elapses, the transceiver returns to its default state.

• This function is usable in transceivers whose revision num­ber is 4.4 or later. Ask your dealer for details.
