GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

This publication provides operating and installation information on the TDFM-600/6000 airborne
transceiver. (The exact model number depends on which and how many RF modules are installed.)

1.2 DESCRIPTION

The TDFM-600/6000 series of transceivers are airborne multiband radios capable of conventional FM,
P25, Smartnet and Smartzone trunking systems and any other feature supported by the Motorola XTS­3000 portable radio. The modules are available in VHF, UHFLO, UHFHI and 800 MHz bands. The bands
are numbered 1,4,5 and 8 respectively.

TDFM-655 - Two UHF high band modules
TDFM-688 - Two 800 MHz modules
TDFM-6148 - One VHF, UHF low and 800 MHz module
TDFM-6158 - One VHF, UHF high and 800 MHz module

2.1 GENERAL

The TDFM-600/6000 transceiver is designed to operate in the same fashion as the Motorola XTS-3000
portable radio. The display has been rearranged into a 2 line display from 4 and some of the numeric
keys also double as function keys. Two or three XTS-3000 RF modules are installed in the unit. The
display is showing the activity of one module at a time selected by pressing the desired knob. The
knobs have multiple functions including volume, channel, display dimmer. The microphone, key line and
headphone audio are separate for each of the two or three bands therefore switching from band to band
is performed at an audio panel. This allows for separate and simultaneous operation on each of the
bands just like having 2 or 3 separate radios.

2.3 POWER SWITCH

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

To switch the transceiver on, press the left most knob. The transceiver will immediately power up. The
display will show ATECHNISONIC@ and the software version installed followed by the model number
as determined by which RF modules are installed. The display will then show the normal display for
band 1. To switch off the transceiver at any time, press and hold the left most knob for 2 seconds until
the display shows AOFF@ then release.

2.4 KNOBS

The transceiver will have two or three knobs depending on how many RF modules are installed. The
