5.10 Stuning/Activating a Radio

This function allows you to stun or activate another radio through air signaling. The stunned radio can neither transmit nor receive traffic, but can only be activated through activating signaling. This feature is used to prevent use of the radio without permission or when the radio is lost.

Note: This function is only available to an authorized user.

request failed” or “Activation request failed” will be displayed.

DM588 Digital Mobile Radio User Manual

Note: If you press the On/Off key while the radio is sending signaling, the radio will stop sending signaling and exit. If the maximum times of retry is reached but no response is received, the radio will automatically stop sending signaling and exit. A failure message will be prompted.

5.10.2 Receiving Stunning/Activating Signaling

After a target radio receives stunning/activation signaling and enters stunned state, it will automatically send a respond of acknowledgement. The stunned radio only displays its channel alias and group alias in the home interface. It can receive no information except activation signaling, and no operation but power on/off can be performed. The activated will return from stunned to normal state after being activated.

5.11 Lone Worker

This function enables the radio to send an emergency alarm if no operation (e.g. a keystroke) is performed on the radio within a preset response duration. This function needs to be set using the programming software. This function works as below.

DM588 Digital Mobile Radio User Manual

1. If no operation is performed on the radio when a preset response duration is nearly up, the radio will give a preliminary alarm.

2. When a preliminary alarm is given, you can press any key to cancel it.

3. If no operation is performed when the preset response duration is up, an emergency alarm will be sent automatically.

5.12 Encryption (Digital Channel Only)

This function achieves encryption of voice or a short message to avoid interception by a user on the channel using third-party software, so that secret communication is ensured. Encrypted signals can be transmitted via a channel with encryption enabled, and decryption signals can also be received. This function needs to be set using the programming software.

Every channel supports the following two types of encryption. The setting can be done by your dealer.

 Basic encryption  Enhanced encryption

A sending radio and a receiving radio sharing an encryption key can decrypt a call

DM588 Digital Mobile Radio User Manual

or data from each other. The radio cannot receive an encrypted call correctly if a different encryption type or encryption key is used on the sending radio.

5.13 Scrambling* (Analogue Channel Only)

This function achieves voice encryption to ensure secret communication. Scrambled signals can be received and sent only after enabling this function. This function needs to be set using the programming software.

To transmit signals correctly between a sending radio and a receiving radio via a channel with scrambling enabled, this function needs to be enabled on the both radios.

RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION

– This radio is designed for and classified as

“Occupational/Controlled Use Only”

meaning it must be used only during the course of employment by individuals aware of the hazards, and the ways to minimize such hazards; NOT intended for use in an General population/uncontrolled environment

– DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the

radio and may also cause you to exceed RF exposure limits. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with this radio by the manufacturer or an antenna specifically authorized by the manufacturer for use with this radio, and the

DM588 Digital Mobile Radio User Manual

antenna gain shall not exceed 3.5dBi by the manufacturer declared.

– DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time, more than 50% of the time

can cause RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded.

– During operation, the separation distance between user and the antenna shall be at least 51cm, this separation distance will ensure that there is sufficient distance from a properly installed externally-mounted antenna to satisfy the RF exposure requirements – During transmissions, your radio generates RF energy that can possibly cause interference with other devices or systems. To avoid such interference, turn off the radio in areas where signs are posted to do so. DO NOT operate the transmitter in areas that are sensitive to electromagnetic radiation such as

hospitals, aircraft, and blasting sites.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
