In Direct Mode Operation (DMO) the MTP850 is used without
infrastructure services required.
A MTP850 in DMO can communicate with the trunked
system (and vice-versa) through a gateway device. To use
that feature, please enable the gateway option in your
MTP850 (see “Gateway/Repeater Selection” on page 57).
Entering TMO or DMO
Enter TMO or DMO in one of the following ways:
• From the Home display press Optns and select Direct
Mode if the MTP850 is in TMO.
• From the Home display press Optns and select Trunked
Mode if the
MTP850 is in DMO.
• Press and select More... > Networks > Trunked
Mode if the
MTP850 is in DMO.
• Press and select More... > Networks > Direct
Mode if the
MTP850 is in TMO.
• Press the TMO/DMO one-touch button (if programmed by
your Service Provider).
While operating in DMO the propagation travels directly from
the transmitting terminal antenna to the receiving terminal
antenna, with no assistance from any base station or tower.
Therefore, the range is critically dependent on the position of
the user and the antenna. To achieve best results, hold the
terminal in the hand as high as comfortably possible, and be
sure not to obstruct the antenna in any way. Be sure that the
antenna is clear from the body, cables, or other obstructions.
As there is no tower-mounted base station to assist, and the
two users are usually standing at ground level, the range is
usually shorter than that can be achieved towards a tower or
hilltop. Any obstructions (hills, buildings, etc.) between the
users will further decrease the range. Conversely, raising the
terminal higher or moving to a higher location may improve the
range.
In DMO it is only possible to place Group Calls, Emergency
Group Calls and Private Half-duplex Calls.
