Installation Instructions
Introduction
The T02-00005-ABAA and T02-00005-ABBA
keypad microphones plug into the microphone
socket on the graphical-display radio control
head, and enables users to make calls to other
radios, groups, or to a PABX or PSTN.
The types of call that you can make depends on
the way your radio has been programmed.
The T02-00005-ABAA and T02-00005ABBA keypad microphones can also be used
with TM8100 analog radios for channel
selection and DTMF calls.
The T02-00005-ABBA keypad microphone
has a longer 10ft (3m) cable.

As well as the PTT key, there are twelve
alphanumeric keys, two scroll keys, and a left and right selection key on the keypad
microphone. The selection keys and scroll keys duplicate the keys on the control head
and the 12 alphanumeric keys on the keypad microphone are used to dial call strings and
enter text.
The microphone button operates a hookswitch, which is closed when the microphone is
connected to the microphone clip, and open when the microphone is removed from the
microphone clip. The function of the hookswitch is determined by the way the radio is
programmed.

Dialing Characters
If an incorrect character has been dialed, use the left selection key on either the microphone

Dialing Text Messages
When the keypad microphone is used to enter a text message, the microphone keys have
special functions. Use the key to toggle between upper and lower case characters and
use the left selection key to delete a character from the display.

Radio Programming
The radio does not need to be programmed to recognize the presence of a keypad
microphone, as this is automatically done when the radio is powered on.
However, to utilize the alphanumeric keys, particularly in conventional mode, you need to
configure the Default Dialing Type (UI Preferences form or Conventional UI form).
See the Help of the programming application for more information on this field and other
programming options required to enable a particular form of dialing.
Yo u must power-cycle the radio after replacing the keypad microphone with a programming lead, in order to read or program the radio.
Installation
Notice The keypad microphone grommet must be installed whenever the microphone
is plugged into the microphone socket. When installed, the grommet has two functions:
■ to prevent damage to the microphone socket when there is movement of the
microphone cord, and
■ to ensure that the control head is sealed against water, dust and other
environmental hazards.
1 Make sure the radio is turned off, then plug the keypad microphone cord into the
microphone socket on the radio control head.
The radio will only recognize the presence of the keypad microphone when the radio is
powered on, so that if the microphone is plugged in after the radio has been powered on,
it will not recognize the keypad microphone. Also, if the keypad microphone is plugged
in on power up but is later unplugged, then plugged back in, the radio will not recognize
it again until the next power cycle.
