Making a Call

Making a Call
The radio is capable of making a variety of calls, including calls to individual radios, groups of radios and calls to private and public telephone systems.
Before you can make a call the radio must be in the IDLE STATE, i.e. a personality has been selected and no call is in progress (see "
Selection
K8 K4
TEXT 213
"). In the IDLE STATE the radio displays:
The 1200 series radios can make calls by using

Shortform Dialling

, or
Dedicated Calls
can also make calls using
Shortform Dialling
When the radio is in the IDLE STATE shortform dialling may be used. This allows quick access to up to 40 preprogrammed numbers of up to 14 digits (on K4 radios, only the last 8 digits are displayed) using the shortform dial position selector (16 & 17).
Depending on the way your radio is programmed, the radio will display the alphanumeric alias, the number to be dialled or the position in the list.

Fixed and Dynamic Groups

If the shortform dial position selector (16 & 17) is operated, but no call request is sent, the display will be held until tone H sounds. The display will then revert to the IDLE STATE.
Note:
When the shortform dial number is displayed, it may be edited as described in the section (K8 only).

Short Data Messages (SDM)

Short data messages may be set up, sent and received using the radio keypad and controls. Outgoing data messages from the keypad are limited to numeric data only in any combination of up to 20 characters.
Note:

Receiving Short Data Messages

On receiving an SDM, tone G sounds and the display shows:
The data message icon is lit whenever SDMs are in the data message stack, i.e. displayable, unless the message display has been turned off (refer to Displaying Incoming Data).
Non keypad radios cannot generate or display incoming SDMs and may only be used for data when connected to external data terminal equipment (DTE).

short data display.
#
#
The SDM display defaults to ON, how ev er the option setting is retained when the radio is switched off.
Note:
This feature is important if the radio is being used with external data terminal equipment (DTE), to prevent loss of data messages.
With the SDM display set to ON, on reception of a valid SDM, either it can be displayed by the radio and/or passed to external DTE. In either case, the SDM is received and accepted (acknowledged) by the radio. Only if the SDM is of an un-displayable format AND the external DTE is disconnected, is the SDM rejected by the radio.
With the SDM display set to OFF, on reception of a valid SDM, it will not be added to the data message stack for display, but passed to the external DTE, which if accepted will be acknowledged by the radio.
Howev er, if the DTE is not present e.g. disconnected, the SDM is rejected by the radio. In this case the SDM will not be accepted (acknowledged) by the radio and will not be lost.

Summary

If using the radio only, the SDM display should be set to ON.
If using the radio with external DTE which is permanently connected in normal use, the SDM display should be set to ON.
If using the radio with external DTE which may be disconnected in normal use, then set the display to OFF prior to disconnecting the external DTE to avoid SDM loss.

Storing SDMs

Incoming SDMs are stored on receipt in the Short Data Message stack. Up to five SDMs can be stored by the radio. When five SDMs hav e been stored, the sixth SDM overwrites the first. The data message icon is lit whenever SDMs are in the stack.
SDMs are not stored when the radio is switched OFF.

Interrogating the SDM stack

To interrogate the SDM stack, with the radio in the idle state, press the data key (14) to enter the
D
SDM stack interrogate mode. The first entry in the stack will be displayed as
shown in the following example:
Special Calls
01 DATA 213
where 01 indicates the position in the stack (01 is the most recent message), and 213 is the number of the calling party.
To scroll through the other entries in the stack use the short form dial position selector (16 & 17).
To exit the data message stack interrogate mode press the data key (14).
Note:
You must exit the data message stack interrogate mode to put the radio in the idle state in order to make other calls or enter the call in absence stack.

Scrolling SDMs

From the stack, the entire currently selected SDM may be displayed by scrolling, which can be either on a character or word basis.
Press Edit (7) to display the SDM. To scroll on a character basis, press keypad button

the stack. The radio returns to the SDM stack interrogate mode after each deletion until the last message is deleted when the display returns to the idle state and the SDM icon is extinguished.

Status replies to an SDM

Where an SDM contains a calling party number, the radio can respond with a status message.
From the SDM stack interrogate mode or SDM scrolling mode, press the status key (9). The
S
radio will exit the data mode and enter the dialling state for example:
213S

Special Calls

Receiving a Status Call

A status is a code for transmitting prearranged messages. For example, status "05" may indicate "Return to base". When the radio receives a status call, tone G will sound and the display changes to:
S05 213 RETURN TO BASE
S05
followed by
213
and
RETURN
if status text is preprogrammed in the radio.

Making a Status Call

For radios with a keypad, status calls may be initiated in two different ways, via the status key
S
(9) or manually via the keypad (8).
On K4 radios status calls can only be made if they are preprogrammed into the radio on the selector (16 & 17).
In order to make a status call via the status button, choose the desired address as described in Making a Call. Then press the status button (9),
S
followed by two status digits. The display then changes to:
S05 213 RETURN TO BASE
The status number may be edited by using the edit key (7), please refer to Keypad Edit.
To initiate a status call via the keypad (8) enter
0
then enter the status e.g. "05" followed by
and the desired address. In both cases the call is handled as described in
Making a Call.

Making an Emergency Call

Hold the emergency button (5) down for a preset period of time to make a call to a preprogrammed emergency number. No further button press is required to establish the call.
If provided by the system, the user can also dial a preprogrammed emergency number via the keypad (8). Please contact your dealer for further information.

prefixing the required number by .
The call is then initiated as previously described. Note that on a broadcast call only the calling radio can talk and there is no indication that any units have received the call.

DTMF (K8 only)

DTMF means Dual Tone Multi Frequency and is used when the radio is required to operate in a radio system with an interface to telephone systems.
The access code for DTMF is system dependent, please contact your dealer for further information.
Enter the access code. To generate the DTMF tones press and hold the PTT (19) while entering the desired number.

Safety Information

Safety Information
Every radio, when transmitting, radiates energy into the atmosphere which may, under certain conditions, cause the generation of a spark.
All users of vehicles fitted with radios should be aware of the following warnings:
Do not operate radio near
inflammable liquids or in the vicinity of
explosive devices
During normal use, the radio will subject you to radio energy substantially below the level where any kind of harm is reported.
To ensure personal safety, please observe the following simple rules:
■■DO NOT transmit when the antenna is very
close to, or touching, exposed parts of the body, especially the face and eyes.
■■DO NOT hold the transmit (PTT) ke y in when not
actually desiring to transmit.
■■DO NOT allow children to play with any radio
equipment containing a transmitter.
■■DO NOT operate radio whilst driving. It should
also be noticed that the use of a hand held microphone while driving could constitute an offence under the Road Traffic Regulation.
