Section 1:New Feature List

Slide 3
New Feature List
• Transmit Interrupt:
– Voice Interrupt - Enables a radio partied to a call to interrupt (de-key) a voice transmission from
another radio and initiate its own voice transmission within the same call.
– Remote Voice De-key - Enables a (supervisor) radio to interrupt (de-key) a voice transmission from
another radio and clear down the call irrespective of whether it is partied to the call or not.
– Emergency Voice Interrupt - Enables a radio to interrupt (de-key) a voice transmission from
another radio, clear down the call and initiate its own emergency signalling irrespective of whether it
is partied to the original call or not.
– Data over Voice Interrupt - Enables a 3rd party data application to interrupt (de-key) a voice
transmission from another radio and initiate its own data transmission irrespective of whether it is
partied to the original call or not.
• Dynamic Mixed Mode (DMM) - Allows MOTOTRBO radios in digital mode, MOTOTRBO radios in
analogue mode and legacy analogue radios to key up on the same MOTOTRBO repeater channel. Also,
supports analogue consoles connected via the MOTOTRBO repeater 4-wire interface.
• Improved Ergonomics:
– Extended Emergency Press - Ability to extend the duration of the emergency activation button
press.
– One Touch Access (Mobile) - Enables a mobile radio to switch to a pre-configured channel with the
press of a button.
– Scan Off Hook Interaction with Talkback Disabled - Upon taking the microphone Off-Hook while
receiving, a mobile will not immediately revert to the TX designated channel. It will instead remain on
the landed channel and only revert to the TX designated channel when the PTT is pressed.

Slide 4
New Feature List
• Over the Air Activity Logging - Enables a 3rd party application to monitor over air activity excluding
voice / data payload using a mobile radio. The mobile radio forwards all over the air activity (regardless of
call destination) via XCMP to the attached PC, option board or non-PC peripheral.
• RDAC Multiple System Support – Ability for the RDAC application to support up to 8 radio systems
(chargeable feature).
• General Enhancements:
– Additional Emergency Systems – Ability for the radio to support up to 32 Digital Emergency
Systems and up to 32 Capacity Plus Emergency Systems.
– Independent Scan Hang Times for Analogue and Digital Channels – Allows scan hang times to
be independently configured (via CPS) for analogue and digital channels.
– Configurable RSSI Threshold - Allows RSSI threshold above which a channel is considered to be
busy to be configured (via CPS) on a per channel basis.
• Capacity Plus Enhancements:
– Join Late Call - If all channels are busy when a radio comes into the coverage area (or is powered
up), the radio will scan all channels and join its highest priority call by late entry (previously late entry
only worked if there was an idle rest channel).
– Join Emergency Call - The start of an emergency call is announced over all busy channels, thereby
enabling radios already busy in calls to immediately transfer to the emergency call (if required).
– Rest Channel Selection – Where several candidate channels of equal preference are available,
Rest Channel selection is performed in a ‘Round Robin’ manner to distribute the load equally among
the different repeaters in a system.
• Microsoft® Windows® 7 Support

Slide 11
Voice Interrupt Definition
Allows a radio partied to an active voice call to interrupt another

radio’s voice transmission and begin a new voice transmission
within the same call.
Note: the interrupting radio must be partied to the active call.

Slide 12
Voice Interrupt Functionality
If provisioned by the CPS, Voice Interrupt is automatically

invoked if the PTT is pressed while an interruptible voice
transmission to which the radio is partied is present on the
channel.
The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission but

does not clear down the active repeater or direct mode call.
The interrupting radio then initiates a new voice transmission

within the same call.
Other radio users partied to the call then hear the interrupting
radio’s voice transmission.
Slide 13
Voice Interrupt Programming Requirements
1. The interrupted radio must be provisioned to allow an

interruption to occur:
• ‘Allow Interrupt’ enabled in CPS (Channel Data)
2. The interrupting radio must be provisioned to allow the

initiation of a voice interrupt:
• ‘In Call Criteria’ set to “TX Interrupt” in CPS (Channel Data)

Slide 14
Voice Interrupt Advantages
1. Provides users partied to a call with a more interactive

experience.
2. Provides users partied to a call with the ability to
interrupt a prolonged voice transmission to disseminate
“late-breaking” or “urgent” information (e.g. “a security
guard being assaulted”) to other members of the call as
quickly as possible.
3. Provides a wireless console (e.g. a mobile with wire-line
console equipment attached) or a Designated User with
“priority access” to the radio channel.

Slide 15
Voice Interrupt User Experience
Interrupting radio:
If a user presses the PTT to interrupt a voice transmission, the radio will either:
• Successfully interrupt the voice transmission and commence its own voice transmission (note:
if unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times before giving up).
• Or, sound a bonk which means the interrupt failed.
Interrupted radio:
The radio being interrupted will sound a talk prohibit tone (if provisioned)
indicating that the user should release the PTT.
Other radio users partied to the call:
All other radios partied to the call will sound an optional channel free tone (if
provisioned) followed by the new voice transmission from the interrupting
radio.
Note: if two or more radios invoke Voice Interrupt simultaneously, the
interrupt fails due to a signaling collision, therefore:
Minimize the number of radios with Voice Interrupt enabled in a group.
Avoid using Voice Interrupt unless truly necessary.
Provide guidelines for acceptable use of Voice Interrupt.
Train users to allow short periods of time before responding to transmitting radio users.

Slide 16
Remote Voice De-key Definition
Allows a radio to remotely de-key a transmitting radio’s voice

transmission and clear down the active call.
Note: the interrupting radio may or may not be partied to the active call.

Slide 17
Remote Voice De-key Functionality
Remote Voice De-key is invoked if the user presses a button

provisioned (by the CPS) for Remote Voice De-key while an
interruptible voice transmission is present on the channel.
The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission

and clears down the active repeater or direct mode call.
If invoked during a repeater call hang time period, the active

repeater call is still cleared down.
Once the interrupted radio has de-keyed, any Radio or Voice

Dispatcher can then begin a new call irrespective of whether
it was partied to the original call.
Slide 18
Remote Voice De-key Programming Requirements

• ‘Allow Interrupt’ enabled in CPS (Channel Data).

initiation of a voice de-key interrupt:
• Preprogrammed button designated as ‘TX Interrupt Remote De-key’
(Radio Buttons).

Slide 19
Remote Voice De-key Advantages
1. Allows the Remote Monitor transmission from a radio to be

remotely terminated.
2. Allows the channel to be cleared when a radio experiences a
“stuck microphone” condition.
3. Allows the channel to be cleared when a Radio User is
making excessively long voice transmissions, preventing
others from accessing the radio channel.
4. Provides a wireless console (e.g. a mobile with wire-line
console equipment attached) or a Designated User with
“priority access” to the radio channel.
5. Provides a wireless console or a Designated User with the
ability to stop a voice call for any user to start a new call.

Slide 20
Remote Voice De-key User Experience
Interrupting radio:
If a user presses the Remote Voice De-key button to de-key a
transmission and clear down the active call, the radio will either:
• Successfully end the current call and sound a positive indication tone (note: if
unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times before giving up).
• Or, sound a negative indication tone which means the Remote Voice De-key failed
(due to data transmission on the channel or uninterruptible voice).
Interrupted radio:
The radio being interrupted will sound a talk prohibit tone (if provisioned)
indicating that the user should release the PTT.
• If the radio was transmitting a silent emergency or remote monitor, there will be no
audible indication.
Other radios partied to the call:

All other radios partied to the call will sound an optional channel free tone
(if provisioned). The channel will then be clear and any user (including
users not partied to the original call) can then start a new call.
Slide 21
Emergency Voice Interrupt Definition
Allows a radio to de-key a transmitting radio’s voice

transmission, clear down the active call and initiate a new
Emergency Alarm or Emergency Call transmission on the
channel.
Note: the interrupting radio may or may not be partied to the original call.

Slide 22
Emergency Voice Interrupt Functionality
If provisioned by the CPS, Emergency Voice Interrupt is

automatically invoked if the user presses the emergency button
while an interruptible voice transmission present on the channel.
The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission

and clears down the active repeater or direct mode call.
The interrupting radio then initiates an Emergency Alarm,

Emergency Alarm with Call or Emergency Alarm with Voice to
Follow.
The interrupted radio may not necessarily be a recipient of the

resulting Emergency Alarm / Call.

Slide 23
Emergency Voice Interrupt Programming Requirements

• ‘Allow Interrupt’ enabled in CPS (Channel Data).

initiation of an emergency voice interrupt:
• ‘TX Interrupt’ enabled in CPS (Digital Emergency System).

Slide 24
Emergency Voice Interrupt Advantages
1. Provides users in distress with “priority access” to the radio

channel.

Slide 25
Emergency Voice Interrupt User Experience
Interrupting radio:
If a user presses the Emergency button to interrupt a voice
transmission, the radio will either:
• Successfully Interrupt the voice transmission and initiate an emergency alarm
(note: if unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times
before giving up).
• Or sound the emergency tone which means the Emergency Voice Interrupt
failed (in which case the radio attempts to send the emergency alarm impolitely
/ politely based on CPS configuration).
Interrupted radio:
The radio being interrupted radio will sound a Talk Prohibit Tone (if
provisioned) indicating that the user should release the PTT.
Other radios partied to the call:
All other radios partied to the original call will sound an optional
channel free tone (if provisioned).

Slide 26
Emergency Voice Interrupt - Emergency Voice
If Emergency Voice Interrupt is provisioned by the CPS,

then the radio uses the following procedures for Emergency
Voice transmissions:
• Voice Interrupt is automatically invoked if the PTT is pressed
while an interruptible voice transmission to which the radio is not
partied is present on the channel (including a transmission
initiated via a remote monitor command).
If the Voice Interrupt fails or if the current voice transmission is
uninterruptible, then the radio uses the established (non-polite) procedures
for Emergency Voice transmissions.
• The normal ‘In Call Criteria’ is applied if the PTT is pressed while
a voice transmission to which the radio is partied is present on
the channel.
(Note: Emergency Voice is transmitted whenever the PTT on a radio

that initiated an emergency is pressed while that radio still remains in
emergency mode)
Slide 27
Transmit Interrupt – OB and External Accessory
The radio’s option board and external accessory are also able to
invoke a transmit interrupt and begin a new voice transmission
on the channel.
The radio supports an API (incorporated in the ADK) that allows

an external accessory / application and / or option board
application to explicitly invoke a transmit interrupt. This allows for
example a “Tx Interrupt” button on a PC console to remotely de-
key a radio that is transmitting voice.

Slide 28
Transmit Interrupt Limitations
Voice Interrupt is able to interrupt the following interruptible voice calls:

Group Call
Individual Call
Emergency Call
All Call
In addition to the above, Remote Voice De-Key and Emergency Voice

Interrupt are able to interrupt the following interruptible voice calls:
Individual Call (initiated via remote monitor command)
Group Call (initiated via emergency remote monitor command)
The Transmit Interrupt suite of features are NOT able to interrupt:

Un-Interruptible Voice
CSBK (Control Signalling BlocK) Activity
Data Activity

Slide 29
Programming a radio to be “Interruptible”
For a Digital Channel, set the ‘Allow

Interruption’ flag. This will allow the radio’s
voice transmissions to interrupted.

Slide 30
Programming a radio for Voice Interrupt
For a Digital Channel, set the ‘In Call

Criteria’ to TX Interrupt. This will allow the
radio to “interrupt” voice transmissions to
which the radio is partied.

Slide 31
Setting the TX Interrupt Direct Mode Compatibility Option
For a Digital Channel, this option should be enabled

if there are radios on the channel which transmit
interruptible voice in direct mode (i.e. on a direct mode
channel or in talkaround mode on a repeater channel).
The purpose of this option is to force the radio to increase

the channel sample time when deciding whether or not
the channel is idle. This is necessary because transmit
interruptible direct mode transmissions contain regular
gaps which may occur at the point when a radio is
sampling the channel to see if it is idle.

Slide 32
Programming a radio for Emergency Voice Interrupt
For a ‘Digital Emergency’ system, enable

the ‘TX Interrupt’ option. This will allow the
radio to initiate Emergency Voice
Interrupts.

Slide 33
Programming a radio for Remote Voice De-Key
On the Buttons screen, simply designate

which programmable button you would like
to press to remotely de-key the transmitter.

Slide 38
Dynamic Mixed Mode Hardware Requirements
• Dynamic mixed Mode does not require new MOTOTRBO

hardware.
• Customers can easily ‘software upgrade’ their current

systems to enable this functionality!

Slide 40
• Allows MOTOTRBO radios in digital and analogue

modes and legacy analogue radios to key up on the
same MOTOTRBO repeater channel.
• Supports analogue consoles such as desk-set, tone

panel, etc. connected via the MOTOTRBO repeater 4-
wire interface.

Slide 41
Dynamic Mixed Mode Functionality - Digital
• When the repeater receives a digital call ‘over the air’,

it re-transmits the call in digital mode
– Supports 2 digital slots.
– Repeater suspends qualifying analogue calls (including
emergency) until digital transmissions have ceased on both slots
and corresponding hang times (call hang + channel hang) have
expired.
– If analogue console tries to key up, repeater generates audible
alert (channel busy tone) via 4-wire repeater interface (over
Speaker and Rx Audio pins) to indicate that channel is busy and
console access has been denied.
– Upon expiry of corresponding hang times, repeater resumes
qualifying both analogue and digital calls.

Slide 42
Dynamic Mixed Mode Functionality - Analogue
• When the repeater receives an analogue call either

‘over the air’ or via the repeater 4-wire interface, it
retransmits the call in analogue mode
– Repeater suspends qualifying digital calls (including
data and emergency) until analogue transmissions
have ceased and call hang time has expired.
– Analogue console device(s) supported.
– Upon expiry of call hang time, repeater resumes
qualifying both digital and analogue calls.

Slide 43
• The repeater only repeats analogue calls received

‘over the air’ which are qualified by PL (DPL/TPL)
– Only PL (DPL/TPL) squelch type repeat is supported
on a DMM channel (CSQ repeat is not supported).
• If the receive squelch type is set to CSQ, the received

audio is sent via the Rx Audio accessory pin for
community repeater operation.

Slide 44
Dynamic Mixed Mode
Repeater Programming Requirements
• To enable DMM, the repeater must be programmed

with a Dynamic Mixed Mode channel
– A DMM channel is contains both the digital and
analogue parameters
• The following must be configured in the DMM channel
for non-community (analogue) repeater operation:
– Rx and Tx squelch types with PL (DPL / TPL)
– Audio type with filtered squelch
• The following must be configured in the DMM channel
for community (analogue) repeater operation:
– Rx and Tx squelch types with CSQ
– Audio type with flat unsquelch

Slide 45
Dynamic Mixed Mode
Repeater Configuration Considerations
• When configuring the digital Call Hang Times and the

digital Subscriber Inactivity Timer (SIT), consideration
should be given to the fact that analogue radios will
not be able to access the channel at the end of a
digital call until these timers have expired.
• When configuring the analogue Call Hang Time,

consideration should be given to the fact that digital
radios will not be able to access the channel at the
end of an analogue call until this timer has expired.
• Keeping the Call Hang Times as short as possible and

the digital SIT slightly greater than the digital Call
Hang Times will allow fair access to both analogue
and digital radios.
Slide 46
Dynamic Mixed Mode
Subscriber Configuration Considerations
• Configure Tx and Rx Squelch Types as PL (TPL or

DPL)
– If RX Squelch Type is configured as CSQ, radios will
un-mute to digital transmissions and play out garbled
audio
• Configure digital and analogue radios for polite admit

criteria so that they don’t impolitely key over the top
of each other
– Configure the Admit Criteria for analogue radios as
“Correct PL”
– Configure the Admit Criteria for digital radios as
“Channel Free”
Slide 47
Dynamic Mixed Mode
Subscriber Configuration Considerations
• To automatically receive both analogue and digital calls,

MOTOTRBO radios need to be configured with scan lists
containing both analogue and digital scan members.
• However, scanning for incoming calls may result in an initial

audio truncation
– Truncation depends on the number of scan members in the scan
list
– To prevent loss of digital data transmission, configure an
appropriate preamble duration
• To initiate an analogue call, the user needs to manually change

the channel selection knob to the desired analogue channel.
• To initiate a digital call, the user needs to manually change the

channel selection knob to the desired digital channel.
Slide 48
Dynamic Mixed Mode User Experience
• Analogue Radio:
– Radio user will hear channel busy tone if PTT asserted on analogue radio
configured for polite operation (i.e. Admit Criteria set to “Correct PL”)
while digital call still in progress on either slot.
– If radio configured to scan, there may be audio truncation at beginning of
new incoming call.
• Digital Radio:
– Radio user will hear channel busy tone if PTT asserted on digital radio
configured for polite operation (i.e. Admit Criteria set to “Channel free”)
while analogue call still in progress on channel.
– If radio configured to scan, there may be audio truncation at beginning of
new incoming call.
• Console on Repeater 4-Wire Interface:
– Console user will hear channel busy tone if PTT or Repeater knockdown
asserted on repeater 4-wire interface while digital call still in progress on
either slot.

Slide 49
Dynamic Mixed Mode System Design Considerations
• Digital transmissions may occupy a repeater channel twice as long as

analogue transmissions since there are two slots and digital
transmissions (calls) may occur on each slot one after another.
• If frequent GPS updates are present, the repeater may hold up digital
channels for a long time, not allowing access to analogue radios.
• During migration, while a relatively small number of digital radios are
on a Dynamic Mixed Mode channel, it is recommended that all digital
radios operate on the same slot to provide fair channel access
between analogue and digital transmissions (calls). As more digital
radios start replacing the analogue radios, the digital radios can be
distributed across both slots.
• It is important to note that heavy usage of one mode (analogue or
digital) will lock out for longer the other mode for a polite system
configuration.
• Keeping the analogue and digital channel hang times as short as
possible will allow fair channel access to both analogue and digital
calls.
Slide 50
Dynamic Mixed Mode System Limitations
• Dynamic Mixed Mode does not support the following

features:
– Capacity Plus
– IP Site connect
– RDAC over IP
– Transmit Interrupt
– FCC Type-I and Type-II monitoring
– Antenna relay
• Legacy analogue radios can not hear digital calls

– As a workaround, use 2 mobiles and the COR (Carrier
on Receive) feature

Slide 51

Channel Add and configure a “Dynamic Mixed Mode” type of channel.
Repeater Type Configure as “Single Site”. Dynamic Mixed Mode does not
support “IP Site Master” and “IP Site Peer” configurations.
RX Squelch, TX Configure as “TPL” or “DPL” for non-community repeater
Squelch operation (received audio will be repeated).
Configure as “CSQ” for community repeater operation

(received audio will NOT be repeated, instead audio will be
sent over the Rx Audio accessory pin).

Slide 53
Subscriber CPS Configuration
Recommendations
Radio configuration Description
RX Squelch Type Configure as “TPL” or “DPL”. If configured for CSQ, then

the radios will un-mute to all digital transmissions and
play garbled audio.
TX Squelch Type Configure as “TPL” or “DPL”.
Admit Criteria Configure analogue Admit Criteria as “Correct PL” and

digital Admit Criteria” as “Channel Free”.
TX Preamble Duration This duration depends on the number of scan members
in the scan list.
Priority Scanning Disable priority scanning on all scan members in the
scan list.

Slide 54
Recommendations
Talkback It is recommended to enable Talkback to allow the

radio to talk back on the channel on which it un-
mutes during scan.
PL Type (in scan list) It is recommended to set this to “Non-Priority
Channel” so that PL decoding is performed on non-
priority scan list member channels.
Channel Marker (in scan list) It is recommended to disable channel marker.
Tx Designated Channel Choose “Selected” or one of the configured scan

members. It is not recommended that this be set to
“Last Active Channel”.

Slide 55
Recommendations
Analog Hang Time This field defines the duration of the analog scan hang timer. The timer
starts at the end of the analog call hang time and keeps the radio on the
analog channel while the timer is running.
It is recommended that the Analog Hang Time be set to 0 in order that
radios can resume scanning immediately an analog call ends.
Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a radios or above.
Digital Hang Time This field defines the duration of the digital scan hang timer. The timer
starts at the beginning of the digital call hang time and keeps the radio
on the digital channel while the timer is running.
At the end of a digital call the repeater reserves a DMM channel for
digital calls until the end of SIT + 1 sec. Since analog calls are not
permitted until SIT + 1 sec, it is recommended that the Digital Hang Time
be set to SIT + 1 sec.
Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a radios or above.

Slide 56
Recommendations

RSSI Threshold This field is applicable to each channel programmed in
the radio. The RSSI threshold is used when the Admit
Criteria is “Channel Free” or “Correct PL”. The radio will
be allowed channel access if the Received Signal
Strength is less than the configured RSSI threshold. The
default value is -124 dBm, but this can be increased to
overcome possible RF interference issues that may
result in false channel busy indications.
Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a

radios or above.

Slide 57
Recommendations
• To avoid RF collisions resulting from a legacy analogue

radio keying over ongoing digital calls, “Busy Channel
Lockout” (PL Lockout) must be enabled on all legacy
analogue radios.

• An emergency always commences with the transmission of an Alarm to a group of high-tier
(display) radios.
• A single radio within this group (typically a central control radio) must have the ‘Emergency
Alarm Ack’ option selected.
• If no acknowledgement is received, the initiating radio re-tries several times until it gives up.
• Once the acknowledgement is received by the initiating radio, what happens next depends
on whether the initiating radio is provisioned for ‘Emergency Alarm’, ‘Emergency Alarm w/
Call’ or ‘Emergency Alarm w/ Voice to Follow’.
• The audio / visual indications provided by the initiating radio to indicate the progress of the
emergency depend on the Alarm Type configuration:
• Regular: Audio / visual indications given to indicate progress of emergency.
• Silent: No audio / visual indications given to indicate that emergency has been initiated.
Furthermore radio shall not un-mute to any receive audio while it remains in emergency
mode.
• Silent w/ Voice: As per ‘Silent’, however radio shall un-mute to qualified receive audio.
• If the initiating radio is in silent emergency mode (i.e. ‘Silent’ or ‘Silent w/ Voice’ Alarm Type
selected), pressing the PTT breaks the radio silence, ends the silent condition and enables
the emergency audio / visual indications (note: if the initiating radio is ‘remote monitored’ by
another radio this also breaks radio silence however it does NOT end the silent condition).

Slide 74
Operation
Emergency Channel / Group
• For digital (conventional) systems:
• The initiating radio sets up the emergency on the channel indicated by the ‘Revert
Channel’ field. This is either a pre-defined (revert) channel or the currently ‘selected’
channel.
• The group to which the emergency is addressed is the group ‘Contact Name’
associated with the channel on which the emergency is initiated.
• It is not recommended that radios scan for incoming emergency Alarms.
• It is more effective for an emergency initiator to switch to the acknowledging (central
control) radio’s channel than for the acknowledging radio to scan multiple channels for
emergency initiator.
• Non acknowledging radios in the emergency group will most likely miss emergency
alarms if they are scanning multiple channels. Even if TX Preamble is used by the
emergency initiator, this will not help because the TX Preamble is only used if the alarm
needs to be re-transmitted more than once.
• For Capacity Plus systems:
• The initiating radio sets up the emergency on the Rest Channel.
• The group to which the emergency is addressed is the group ‘Contact’ associated with
Capacity Plus Emergency System.
• Any radio can belong to an emergency group and receive emergency calls, but only high-tier
(display) radios can receive emergency alarms.
Slide 75
Operation
Emergency Alarm – Initiating Radio
• If ‘Emergency On’ button pressed, radio enters emergency mode and transmits emergency
alarm one or more times until it receives an acknowledgement or gives up.
• While radio in emergency mode:

• If radio receives an acknowledgement, it stops transmitting emergency alarms and exits
emergency mode (see note below).
• If radio gives up transmitting emergency alarms, it indicates ‘Emergency Alarm Failed’
and exits emergency mode.
• If ‘Emergency Off’ button pressed, radio exits emergency mode.
• If ‘Emergency On’ button pressed, radio reinitiates Emergency.
• If channel changed, radio exits emergency mode and where emergency enabled on
new channel, it reinitiates Emergency on new channel.
Note: If ‘Silent’ or ‘Silent w/ Voice’ Alarm Type selected, radio remains in (silent) emergency
mode when acknowledgement received (or when radio gives up transmitting emergency
alarms). To exit emergency mode, user needs to press PTT or ‘Emergency Off’ button.

Slide 76
Operation
Emergency Alarm – Receiving Radio
Supported only by high tier (display) radios
• If radio receives an emergency alarm addressed either to its selected ‘Contact Name’ or a digital group in its selected ‘RX
Group List’’:
• Where ‘Emergency Alarm Indication’ option selected, radio provides an audio / visual indication and enters
emergency mode.
• Where ‘Emergency Alarm Ack’ option selected, radio also transmits back an acknowledgement.

• If any button pressed, radio silences audio emergency indication (but remains in emergency mode).
• If back button pressed then (within 2 seconds) ‘Emergency On’ button pressed, emergency mode switches to hidden
state. From then on, pressing back button followed (within 2 seconds) by ‘Emergency On’ button, toggles emergency
mode between hidden and shown state.
• If channel changed, emergency mode also switches to hidden state.
• If radio qualifies incoming voice, it un-mutes speaker.
• If PTT pressed and emergency mode in shown state, radio transmits non-emergency voice back to emergency group
(i.e. group to which incoming emergency alarm was addressed).
• If PTT pressed and emergency mode in hidden state, radio transmits non-emergency voice as per non-emergency
operation.
• If back button pressed then (within 2 seconds) ‘Emergency Off’ button pressed while emergency mode in shown
state, radio exits emergency mode.
• If ‘Emergency On’ button pressed, radio switches to initiating emergency.
Notes:
1. A single radio (typically a central control radio) must have the ‘Emergency Alarm Ack’ option selected.
2. While emergency mode in hidden state, radio behaviour as per non-emergency mode and emergency alarm list hidden,
however emergency icon displayed and LED flashes red.

Operation
Emergency Alarm with Call – Initiating Radio
• If ‘Emergency On’ button pressed, radio enters emergency mode and transmits emergency
alarm one or more times until it receives an acknowledgement or gives up.

• If radio receives an acknowledgement, it stops transmitting emergency alarms and
remains in emergency mode.
• If radio gives up transmitting emergency alarms, it indicates ‘Emergency Alarm Failed’
and remains in emergency mode.
• If PTT pressed, radio transmits emergency voice to same group as emergency alarm.
• If radio receives incoming voice addressed to same group as emergency alarm, it un-
mutes speaker (all other incoming voice is ignored).

Slide 79
Operation
Emergency Alarm with Call – Receiving Radio
• Refer to ‘Emergency Alarm – Receiving Radio’ slide for details on high tier (display) radios
receiving emergency alarms.
• Additional behaviors for high tier (display) radios while in emergency mode:
• If radio qualifies incoming emergency voice and ‘Emergency Call Indication’ option
selected, radio provides a visual emergency call indication.
• For high tier (display) radios where ‘Emergency Alarm Indication’ option not selected and all
low tier (non-display) radios:
• Radio ignores incoming emergency alarms and does not enter emergency mode.
• If PTT pressed, radio transmits non-emergency voice in the normal (non-emergency)
manner.
• All incoming voice (including emergency voice) is qualified in the normal (non-
emergency) manner.

Topic 4 – Additional Emergency Features
Remote Monitor
Capacity Plus
Transmit Interrupt
GPS Tracking

Slide 85
Remote Monitor
• ‘Emergency Remote Monitor Decode’ is a CPS provisioned option.
• If an emergency initiating radio is provisioned with ‘Emergency Remote Monitor Decode’,

that radio can be ‘remote monitored’ while in emergency mode.
• Before a radio can initiate a ‘remote monitor’, it must be taken out of emergency mode, or its
emergency mode switched to the hidden state.

Slide 86
Capacity Plus
• Recall, for Capacity Plus systems:
• Emergencies always set-up on Rest Channel.

• Emergency alarms always transmitted impolitely if call already in progress on Rest
Channel.
• Emergency Voice Interrupt not yet supported.
• Additionally, the start of an emergency call is announced over all busy channels, thereby
enabling radios already busy in calls to immediately transfer to the emergency call (if
required).

Slide 87
Transmit Interrupt
• One of the Transmit Interrupt suite of features is Emergency Voice Interrupt (EVI).
• EVI allows a radio to de-key a transmitting radio’s voice transmission, clear down an active
call and initiate a new Emergency Alarm / Call transmission on the channel.
• If TX Interrupt option (in Digital Emergency System) is enabled by the CPS, EVI is
automatically invoked if the user presses the emergency button while an interruptible voice
transmission present on the channel.
• The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission and clears down the active call.
• The interrupting radio then initiates an Emergency Alarm, Emergency Alarm with Call or
Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow.
Notes:
1. The interrupting radio may or may not be partied to the original call.
2. The interrupted radio may not necessarily be a recipient of the resulting Emergency Alarm /
Call.

Slide 88
GPS Tracking
• GPS equipped radios can transmit updates over the radio system in response to three
service methods:
• Single location update

• Periodic location update
• On emergency (when radio enters emergency mode, it will attempt to transmit an
emergency location response on a specific channel to the Location Server with which it
is registered)
