Calls (Trunked Mode Operation)

TMO Group Calls

A Group Call is a communication between you and others in a talkgroup. A Talkgroup is a pre-defined set of subscribers enabled to participate in and/or invoke a Group Call.

Talkgroups are divided into ranges. Each range may contain several talkgroups.

Making a TMO Group Call

1. Press until “Group Mode” appears on your display.

2. If this is the required talkgroup and range, press and hold the

PTT. Wait for the talk permit tone and then speak into the

microphone.

Release the PTT button to listen.

3. If you wish to call a talkgroup other than the one shown, scroll

through the talkgroups.

4. To select a range other than the one shown, press Optns,

followed by Range. Scroll through the ranges. Press Ok to select the range, press Back to cancel range scrolling.

When you start a call, all members of the selected talkgroup who have their units turned on, will receive the transmission.

The “No Group” message is displayed when you are out of the normal coverage area of your selected talkgroup. You must then select a new talkgroup that is valid for your working location.

Receiving a TMO Group Call

Unless it is engaged in an active call, your MTM800 will automatically switch to Group Mode and receive the transmission. To answer the call, press and hold PTT.

Your MTM800 shows the Group name and the caller’s private number or alias if previously stored in your address book.

When receiving a Group call, you will hear a “New Group Call” tone.

For incoming call alert, see settings in the Tones menu option.

Receiving a TMO Broadcast Call

The Broadcast Call (also called Site Wide Call) is a high-priority group call from the console operator (or dispatcher) to all users. The MTM800s are configured to monitor a Broadcast Call, but users cannot talk back.

The Broadcast Call pre-empts an on-going Group Call that has the same (or lower) call priority.

Calls (Direct Mode Operation)

DMO Group Calls

In DMO, the MTM800 can be used without your Service Provider’s infrastructure.

Direct Mode allows communication with other terminals also operating in Direct Mode, which are on the same frequency and talkgroup as your MTM800.

In DMO it is only possible to place the following call types: Group Calls, Emergency Group Calls and Private Half-duplex Calls.

English

You can receive a call from the selected talkgroup and from an open group. (An open group is a super-group of all DMO groups.)

When you start a call, the members of the selected talkgroup who have their units turned on will receive the transmission.

In DMO the MTM800 can communicate with the trunking system (and vice-versa) if the Gateway option is enabled in the MTM800.

Making a DMO Group Call

1. Enter Direct Mode by selecting the Direct Mode option via the

menu.

English

2. If this is the required talkgroup and range, press and hold the PTT

button. Wait for the talk permit tone and then speak into the microphone.

Release the PTT button to listen.

Receiving a DMO Group Call

You can receive a DMO Group Call only when your MTM800 is in DMO.

Your MTM800 will display the caller’s private number or alias, and the talkgroup name.

Exiting DMO

To exit DMO, select the Operating Mode option your MTM800 should be operating on.

Calls (Private and Phone Calls)

Private Call

A Private Call, also called Point-to-Point or individual call, is a call between two individuals. No other terminal can hear the conversation. This call can be:

• full-duplex call (if the system allows) in TMO

• standard half-duplex call in TMO or DMO

Making a Private Call

1. To enter the Private Mode, press until Private Mode

appears on the display.

2. Enter the number of the person you wish to call.

3. Press and release the PTT button. You will hear a ringing tone.

Wait for the called person to answer your call.

4. Press and hold PTT. Wait for the talk permit tone (if configured)

before talking, and release the PTT when listening.

5. To end the call, press . If the called person ends the call, the

Call Ended message is displayed.

6. Press Back to return to the Private Mode display.

While Transmit Inhibit is activated, an incoming Private Call is indicated, but it is not possible to answer the call.

English

Receiving a Private Call

If the Service Provider configured the MTM800 to Automatic Mode Switch:

1. The MTM800 automatically switches to Private Mode. The

display shows the caller’s identity.

2. To answer the incoming call, press PTT.

3. To end the call, press . The display returns automatically to

the mode it was in before the incoming call arrived.

If the Service Provider configured the MTM800 to Manual Mode Switch:

1. If the MTM800 is NOT in Private Mode, a Prvt Call message and

English

the caller ID is displayed momentarily. The display returns to the mode it was in before the incoming call arrived.

2. To answer the call, press , and then the PTT key.

3. To end the call, press .

If the called person ends the call, the Call Ended message is displayed.

For call alert, see settings in the Tones menu option.

Phone and PABX Calls

The Phone Mode allows you to call a landline telephone number or a cellular mobile phone number. In this publication we use “phone number” when referring to these numbers.

The Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) Mode allows you to call local (office) extension numbers. This mode needs to be activated by your Service Provider.

Both modes have the same dialling features.

While Transmit Inhibit is activated, an incoming Phone or PABX Call is indicated, but it is not possible to answer the call.

Making a Phone or PABX Call

1. Press until Phone Mode appears on your display.

If a PABX call is required, press again. PABX Mode appears on your display.

2. Proceed as for making and receiving Private phone calls.

VOX Control

VOX (Voice Operating Transmission) allows the user to transmit voice in a hands-free condition. The radio is detecting audio automatically when full duplex private call and telephone call use the fist microphone.

This feature is only available if set up by your Service Provider. If it is disabled, transmission can start upon pressing PTT.

Emergency Mode

English

You can send and receive Emergency Group Calls in Trunked Mode (TMO) or in Direct Mode (DMO). If your terminal is

configured to operate through a gateway, Emergency calls can be placed through the gateway.

You can initiate an Emergency Group Call to and receive it from the selected talkgroup (TMO and DMO).

Your Service Provider will configure the Emergency Alarm and Hot Microphone features.

Emergency calls will be allocated emergency priority in the system.

Entering or Exiting Emergency Mode (TMO & DMO)

To enter Emergency mode from any mode, press and hold the emergency key .

The required time you need to press the Emergency button is set to default to 0.5 seconds. The time can be configured by your Service Provider.

For call alerts, see settings in the Tones menu option.

To exit Emergency mode, press and hold Back. You will switch to normal Group mode.

Invisible Emergency Mode

If the Invisible Emergency Mode is enabled by your Service Provider, all the audible and visible indications for operations in Emergency Mode are disabled.

Only the Emergency Private Call is exception for this feature.

Sending an Emergency Alarm

Your MTM800 will automatically send an Emergency Alarm when in Emergency mode. This is sent:

• automatically, upon entering Emergency mode

• if you press the Emergency key again while the MTM800

is in Emergency mode.

After sending the alarm, the screen will show one of the following delivery reports:

• Alarm Sent

• Alarm Failed

In both cases the screen returns within a few seconds to the main screen of the Emergency mode.

Due to no delivery confirmation in DMO, Alarm Sent information confirms only sending the alarm.

Some systems do not support the Emergency Alarm feature when the user is in a “Local Area Service” area.

The Emergency Alarm is a special status message sent to the dispatcher monitoring the selected talkgroup. This can be used in dispatch systems to highlight emergency calls.

Pressing the Emergency button, even if Transmit Inhibit is activated, causes the MTM800 to radiate immediately. The MTM800 must NOT be within the RF sensitive area when entering Emergency mode.

Hot Microphone Feature

If the Hot Microphone feature was programmed into your MTM800 by your Service Provider, you can make an Emergency Group Call and talk to the dispatcher (and members of your talkgroup) without the need to press and hold the PTT.

The microphone will stay open for a time period (programmed by your Service Provider). The microphone will stay open until:

• the Hot microphone time period expires

• you press PTT during the Hot Microphone period

• you press the End key

At the end of the Hot Microphone the Emgcy Mic Ended message will be displayed and the MTM800 reverts back to the Emergency Mode. The Hot Microphone feature is disabled and PTT operation returns to normal.

If required you can resume Hot Microphone by pressing the emergency key again.
