Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the type of phone service for this personality: The Phone Options function key will be active only when this field has been set to a value other than None. Signalling Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable MDC or other signalling types provided for this personality. MDC is a MOTOROLA proprietary, 1200- baud digital signalling protocol used for unit identification, selective signalling and emergency features. The MDC Options function key will be active only when this field has been set to MDC. Note: In order to choose MDC options in the RAC OPTIONS screen ( F4/F6/F3/F9/F7 ), this field must be set to MDC. If this field is not set to MDC, the only available RAC signalling type will be Singletone. MDC System # This field will be visible only if the Signalling field is set to MDC. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the MDC system to be used by this personality. Note: To add and/or configure MDC systems, access the MDC Systems screen ( F4/F6/F4/F3 ). PTT-ID Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable the MDC Unit Identification feature for this personality. When this feature is enabled, the Unit ID will be broadcast each time the transmitter is keyed (if the Leading PTT-ID is enabled) and/or de-keyed (if the Trailing PTT-ID is enabled). Note: Access the MDC SYSTEMS screen ( F4/F6/F4/F3 ) to specify when the ID must be transmitted. Emerg. PTT ID This field is only visible if the MDC Emergency Type was set to Alarm and Call. Use the UP/DOWN to enable the MDC Emergency PTT ID feature for this personality. When the Emergency PTT ID is enabled, the radio Unit ID will be broadcast each time the PTT button is pressed while the radio is in emergency mode. The factory default is Disabled. List Only The user may only call pre-programmed numbers from the phone list stored in the radio. Unlimited The user may call phone numbers from the list, or directly enter any number via the keypad. None Disables phone operation for this personality.
244 Revert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Emergency transmit channel. The choices are Selected Channel, or Channel 1, 2, or 3. Selected Channel will cause the emergency transmission to always be broadcast on the current personality. However, the emergency transmission can also be reverted to another personality. Each MDC System also contains a table of three emergency revert channels which are configured on the MDC SYSTEM screen ( F4/F6/F4/F3 ). Channels 1, 2, and 3 refer to that table. Note: Receive-only personalities must always revert. Rx Voice/Signal Type Use UP/DOWN arrow keys to select one of the following: Note: The selection of ASTRO Mode automatically overrides any previous Personality-type selection made in the Signalling field. Note: Setting this field to ASTRO and then setting it back to Non-ASTRO or Mixed Mode will cause the Receive, Transmit, and Direct Squelch Types to be set to PL regardless of their current values. Tx Voice/Signal Type Use UP/DOWN arrows keys to select one of the following: To prevent Rx-Tx mismatch, this field will not allow you to enter a different signal type than the type entered in the Rx Voice/Signal Type. For example, if you selected ASTRO in the Rx Voice/Signal Type field, you must select ASTRO in this field as well. Note: Depending on the RSS version in use and/or the capability of your radio, Phone Operation may be unavailable in ASTRO mode. Frequency (MHz) The Transmit and Direct Frequency fields will not be visible if the Receive Only field is set to Enabled. The Direct Frequency field will not be visible if the Direct/Talkaround field is set to Disabled. Enter the Receive, Transmit or Direct (Talkaround) frequency directly in MHz. Alternatively, the UP/DOWN arrow keys may be used to scroll through the valid channels. Blank receive frequency fields are not allowed. Note: Refer to the MOTOROLA Catalog Sheets/Price Pages for valid receive frequencies for this model. ASTRO Only ASTRO signals will be received. Non-ASTRO Analog signals will be received.
