Motorola MTM800 E - Broadcast Call; Ambience Listening (AL) Call; One-Touch Button Feature; Table 8: One-Touch Button Features

Broadcast Call
The Broadcast Group Call (also called Site Wide Call) is a high-priority group call from the console operator (or
dispatcher) to all users located at one or more sites. The radios are configured to monitor a Broadcast Call, but you
cannot talk back. The call can be received as a normal Broadcast Call or an Emergency Broadcast Call. The Broadcast
Call preempts an ongoing Group Call that has the same or lower call priority.
Ambience Listening (AL) Call
This feature allows a dispatcher to make a special call that allows listening to the conversations and background
noises within the range of a particular radio’s microphone. The call is set up without any indication to the affected
radio, and any lower priority ongoing voice call may be preempted.
After accepting the call, the radio transmits in a simplex call without any action from or indication to the user. The
Ambience Listening Call automatically ends when you initiate any voice call, switch to Emergency or TXI Mode, or
send Emergency Alarm.
One-Touch Button Feature
The One-Touch Button feature allows for quick activation of functions by pressing and holding keys or buttons
assigned to those functions.
