11.7.5 Macro Key Operation

Macro key operation permits the user to accomplish a series of keystrokes with a single "macro"

keystroke. Each Macro Key is capable of executing up to twenty (20) keystrokes, to any push button input

(i.e., keypad keys, OPTION button, etc.). Each macro key can be pre-programmed to activate when

pressed or when released.

A macro key may also be pre-programmed to change the key stroke sequence the next time the macro key

is activated.

For detail operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or

administrator.

11.8 PORTABLE DATA

The P7100

series portable radios, when operating in the P25 Trunked or EDACS configuration, permit

either voice or data calls to be transmitted or received. The radio can handle only one type of call at a

time; however, either data or voice is selected transparently by the operator through normal usage of the

radio. Data communications is not supported in the conventional mode.

The radios can be connected to Mobile Data Terminals (MDT) or to a host computer. Any RS-232

compatible device that supports the Radio Data Interface (RDI) protocol (Version 1.91 or greater) may be

connected to the radio. Support for MDTs or host computers is a programmable option per radio.

Additionally, radios may also be programmed for data only operation (no voice calls transmitted or

received).
