1. Hold the radio so that the antenna is away from the face and body, minimally 2-3", when
transmitting and,
2. Minimize transmit time to approximately 1 ½ minute duration over a 15 minute interval.
2.3 EARPIECE/MICROPHONE ASSEMBLY
Optionally, the Model 1230-04 Surveillance Microphone/Earpiece Assembly can be used with the Model
1225 Hand Held Transceiver. This assembly includes a covert PTT microphone and a covert earpiece that can be hooked
over the ear. The assembly connects to a top panel Hirose connector. The integral microphone and speaker are disabled
with the Surveillance Microphone/Earpiece Assembly connected.
2.4 BATTERY
The Model 1225 Hand Held transceiver operates from a 1200 mAh or an 1800 mAh Nickel Cadmium,
rechargeable battery. The battery slides onto the Model 1225 battery clip assembly located on the bottom of the unit. To
remove the battery, push the retaining clip upwards towards the top of the unit and slide the battery in the direction opposite
the clip. When installing a battery, insure the grooves on the top of the battery are properly aligned with the baseplate. The
battery should slide on easily.
A blinking PWR LED on the Model 1225 indicates low battery conditions. The battery should be
replaced immediately with a fully charged battery. The Model 1225 Hand-Held transceiver will operate for approximately
180 minutes in receive mode or 15 minutes in transmit mode after a battery low condition is indicated. Only critical
transmissions should be made after the battery low condition is indicated.
2.5 ANTENNA
The Model 1225 is provided with a flexible antenna. The antenna is screwed into the top panel mounted
connector and fits within the cup. No other antenna should be used with the Model 1225.
2.6 PRIVACY CODES
Privacy keys are stored in non-volatile memory. The keys are loaded into memory using the Model 1260
Key Loader. If a keyed unit is lost or stolen, the keys in the remaining units can be changed quickly to maintain the overall
security. Code selection is made using the top panel switch. Two codes selections are available, common (C) and private
(P). The C code is factory set on all units and provides a common scrambler code for use during inter-agency operations.
The P code is intended to be agency or group specific. The P code can be changed by the user. In operation, the Model
1225 uses different codes for Channel A and Channel B operation.
To load a P code into the Model 1225, use the Model 1230-03 Adapter Cable to connect the Model 1260
Key Loader to the key loader connector located on the bottom of the Model 1225. The POWER indicator on the Model 1260
should light (providing the Model 1225 is powered on). Select a code by rotating the KEY NUMBER thumb wheel switches
on the Model 1260. (Selecting a code number above 300 will result in an error indication on the Model 1260.) Depress
the LOAD KEY button on the Model 1260 to download the selected key. The KEY LOADED indicator on the Model 1260
should light, indicating that the new keys were successfully loaded into the Model 1225. If the LOAD FAIL indicator lights,
the key load sequence did not succeed.
