Calls The various types of voice and data calls that are supported by your radio, and the acoustic and visual alerts that accompany a call, depend on your radio's customisation. Call types Note: This section describes call types available in TETRA mode only. For details of working in P25 Mutual Aid mode, see P25 Mutual Aid mode on page 105.
Voice call type Description PBX A call to a user on a private branch exchange (PBX). This call needs to be set up by your service provider and allows you to call a person by dialling their extension number (preceded by a programmed digit used to dial the exchange). PSTN A call to a user on a the public switched telephone network (PSTN). Broadcast A special type of group call, which is received by all terminals in the system (system-wide broadcast call) or by a specific group.
Data call type Description SDS Message A user-defined message that can be sent by individuals and received by individuals and talkgroups. Packet Data TETRA Packet Data extends TETRA to act as an IP subnet. This enables application programmers to build their applications in a well-standardised environment. Call History The Call History records up to 20 recent individual calls. It can be customised to display Incoming Calls or Outgoing Calls or both sets of call types in a list.
Group calls Group (point-to-multipoint) calls are calls where you talk to other users within a nominated group of radio users (a talkgroup).

Networks Authentication Remote User Assignment (aliasing) If your radio supports Remote User Assignment (RUA) using TETRA Interoperability Profile (TIP) defined procedures and transactions, your presence on the network requires authentication. RUA allows you to be authenticated onto the network by entering a user identity and optionally a PIN (maximum 7 digit). Once accepted by the system, you can be addressed by your user identity, if aliasing is supported by the system.
Change Network If your radio is customised to use other networks, you can manually select a network from a list of configured networks, or allow your radio to automatically use a suitable network when you move into its coverage area. Note: After switching to a different network, make sure that your selected talkgroup is valid for that network. For details of talkgroup selection see Talkgroups and folders on page 49.
When Transmit Inhibit is activated or deactivated, a status message is sent confirming the operational state of your radio. You cannot activate Transmit Inhibit when you are in a call. Caution: Alarm Calls initiated in Transmit Inhibit mode are still transmitted. Note: You cannot select Transmit Inhibit if user profile Do Not Disturb is selected. See User profiles on page 123.

Operating Modes Your radio supports the following operating modes: In Trunked Mode Operation (TMO Mode) your radio operates on the network infrastructure supplied by your service provider. In Direct Mode Operation (DMO Mode) your radio can transmit directly to another radio (antenna to antenna). In DMO mode radio coverage depends on the position of the caller and the receiving radio. When you switch to DMO your radio leaves the network and tunes to the selected DMO talkgroup.
DMO Mode In Direct Mode Operation (DMO), radios communicate directly with other TETRA radios without using a network. The radios must all switch to DMO and select the same talkgroup, and that talkgroup must use the same channel (frequency). Communications to other users on the network are impossible unless they also switch to DMO and select the same talkgroup. Note: This means that in DMO, communications to the dispatcher is impossible unless they also switch to DMO and select the same talkgroup.
your radio can communicate with any other radios in the selected DMO talkgroup which are also within the range of the repeater. See Repeater Mode on the facing page. Note: If a radio is within range of a repeater but for some reason a call cannot be set up through it your radio attempts to set up the call in DMO Mode and the Communication Mismatch icon is displayed to all members of the talkgroup to indicate that there may be members of the talkgroup who cannot take part in the call.
Note: When option Use GW/Rep is selected, your radio selects the first gateway or repeater that it detects. If it selects a gateway, a gateway icon is displayed on the status line. If the gateway stops sending a presence signal it will no longer be detected by your radio which may then detect a repeater. In this case the gateway icon is replaced by the repeater icon on the status line. Therefore when you are making a call look at the display to understand how it will be made.
You can also use a repeater to enable communication between two radios which cannot communicate directly, perhaps because their users are do not have line of sight with each other. The following diagram shows radios A and B and a repeater which are on the same DMO talkgroup. A and B are in range of the repeater. Because of its location, the repeater can pass communications between A and B even though they cannot communicate directly.
What repeaters cannot do In Repeater Mode the radio cannot: make individual calls take part in another group call send status or SDS messages use the Quick Status feature edit text use the phonebook view the library of pre-defined Status messages Participating in repeated calls A radio in Repeater Mode may (depending on its customisation) operate either as a Standard Repeater or as a Repeater with Call Participation.
Repeater with call participation If your radio is configured to operate in Repeater Mode with Call Participation you can take part in the calls which are being relayed through it if the call participants are on the same DMO talkgroup as you. To stop participating in a call, press the Clear context key; you radio continues to act as a Repeater.
Using the Emergency Button in Repeater Mode Caution: If you use the Emergency Button when your radio is operating in Repeater Mode, any calls that are currently active through the repeater will cease. When the Alarm Call is subsequently cleared, the radio may not necessarily remain in Repeater Mode. Repeater states A radio acting as a repeater can enter several states of operation, depending upon the status of calls through the repeater and whether it has detected other users of the direct mode channel.
your radio operates on a single channel which you select from a small number of preconfigured (by Radio Manager) channels reserved for national interoperability. Functionality in P25 Mutual Aid mode is limited compated with TETRA mode. For example most Soft keys (described on page 14) are disabled. To enter P25 Mutual Aid mode Follow the steps described in To change operating mode from the Home screen on page 98. and select P25 Mode.
