Advanced Functions
The PR-1317DMR provides the following advanced functions:
DMO dual-timeslot
Hybrid channel
Scanning list
Scanning
SMS
VOX
Talkaround
Remotely listening allowed
Remotely alarm-reporting allowed
DMO Dual-Timeslot
In a DMO dual-timeslot communication, two calls can be made on the
same frequency, making the communication efficiency double and
saving the cost for users for frequency request and use. In addition,
dual-timeslot communication can ensure smooth and realtime
communication even in peak time.
Hybrid Channel
You can set a hybrid channel for your PR-1317DMR to receive digital or
analog signals.
Scanning List
You can create a scanning list and allocate it to a single channel or a call
group. Your PR-1317DMR can check whether there are voice activities on the
current channel or in the current call group by cyclically scanning the
channels and call groups in the list. Your PR-1317DMR can support up to 10
scanning list and each list consists of up to 16 members.
Scanning
When you enable scanning, your PR-1317DMR check whether there are
voice activities on the current channel by cyclically scanning the preprogrammed scanning list.
The LED indicator flashes orange.
Automatic scanning: The PR-1317DMR starts to scan automatically after you
select an active channel or call group with automatic-scanning enabled.
Starting and Stopping Scanning
Procedure:
1. Start or stop scanning by pressing the pre-programmed scanning
key or selecting a channel with a pre-programmed scanning list
with the channel selection knob.
2. When scanning is started, the LED indicator flashes orange. When
scanning is stopped, the LED indicator is off.
Transmitting a Response During Scanning
During scanning, your PR-1317DMR stays on the active channel or in the
active call group detected. The duration when the PR-1317DMR stays on the
channel is called the pre-programmed time limit of the “idle time”.
Procedure:
1. During the idle time, press the
after the LED indicator is red on.
2. Release the
3. If you do not send a response, the PR-1317DMR starts to scan other
channels or call groups.

PTT key and talk to the microphone
Sending a Pre-edited Short Message
You can send a pre-edited short message with a pre-programmed key.
Procedure:
1. Press the pre-programmed shortcut key to send a pre-edited short
message to a pre-defined ID. Up to 10 pre-edited short messages
can be set on the PR-1317DMR.
2. The LED indicator red on.
3. If two prompt tones are heard, it indicates that the short message is
successfully sent. If one low tone is heard, it indicates that the short
message fails to be sent.
Setting a Power Level
You can set the power level of each channel to low or high.
A high power level is used for the communication between the
PR-1317DMR and a remote portable radio. A low power level is used for the
communication between the PR-1317DMR and a near portable radio.
Procedure:
1. Press the pre-programmed power level key.
2. If the PR-1317DMR beeps once, it indicates that high power is transmitted.
If the PR-1317DMR beeps twice, it indicates that low power is transmitted.
Enabling or Disabling the VOX Voice Control Function
VOX allows you to initiate a hand-free voice call on a programmed
channel. Once the microphone on the VOX accessory detects a voice
signal, the PR-1317DMR automatically transmits signals in a programmed
time period.
Note:
Only the PR-1317DMRs with VOX activated can enable or disable VOX. For
details, contact your agent or system administrator.
Procedure:
1. Press the programmed VOX key to enable or disable the VOX
function.
2. Talk to the microphone clearly.
Talkaround
If the forwarder does not work or if your PR-1317DMR is beyond the
operating scope of the forwarder but within the coverage of other
portable radios, you can still use your PR-1317DMR for communication. This
is called “talkaround”.
Procedure:
Press the programmed Repeater/Talkaround key to switch over between
the Talkaround and Repeater mode.
Remotely Listening Allowed
This function enables remote listening of the PR-1317DMR.
Remotely Alarm-Reporting Allowed
This function enables remote alarm reporting of the PR-1317DMR.
Remote Kill Allowed
This function enables remote kill of the PR-1317DMR.
