TMAA02-08 Keypad Microphone
Installation Instructions
Introduction
The TMAA02-08 keypad microphone plugs into
the microphone socket on the 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.
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.

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.
Notice 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.
2. Slide the microphone grommet along the microphone cord and push two adjacent corners of the grommet into the microphone socket cavity.
3. Squeeze the grommet and push the remaining corners into position.
4. Check that the grommet is seated correctly in the cavity.

Installing the Microphone Clip
Install the microphone clip in the most convenient location for the radio user. It must be within
easy reach of the user, but in such a position that the microphone PTT key cannot be
inadvertently activated or jammed on.

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, there are a few related
fields that should be configured, as required, to enable the keypad microphone to be
used effectively.
Yo u must power-cycle the radio after replacing the keypad microphone with a programming lead, in order to read or program the radio.
Conventional Forms
In conventional mode, there are check boxes labelled “Selcall Call Dialing”, “DTMF Call
Dialing” and “Phone Patch Call Dialing”. There is also an option “Conventional Dialing
Type” field, where you can program the radio to dial labels or channels from the default
display.
Refer to the online help of the programming application for more information about these
programming options.
MPT Trunked Forms
In MPT trunked mode, there may be check boxes labelled “DTMF Dialing”, “PABX Calls”
and “PSTN Calls”. These check boxes need to be selected before you can make these types
of calls.
Refer to the online help of the programming application for more information about these
programming options.
