16 TMAA02-08 Keypad Microphone
The TMAA02-08 keypad microphone plugs into the 
microphone socket on the graphical-display radio control 
head, and enables users to make calls to other radios, groups, 
or to a PABX or PSTN. The types of call that you can make 
depends on the way your radio has been programmed.
As well as the PTT key, there are twelve alphanumeric keys, two 
scroll keys, and a left and right selection key on the keypad 
microphone. The selection keys and scroll keys duplicate the 
keys on the control head.
The microphone button operates a hookswitch, which is closed 
when the microphone is connected to the microphone clip, and 
open when the microphone is removed from the microphone 
clip. The function of the hookswitch is determined by the 
radio programming.
16.1 Operation
16.1.1 Using the Keypad
The 12 alphanumeric keys on the keypad microphone are used to dial call 
strings and enter text.
The left selection 
key  , right selection key   and scroll keys   or   have 
the same functions as the left and right selection keys and scroll keys on the 
control head. 
Pressing an alphanumeric key enters the first character on the key into the 
control head display. Subsequent quick presses toggle through the other 
characters on the key. Pausing for longer than one second moves the cursor 
on to the next place in the dialled string or text message on the control head 
display, ready for the next key press.
If the wrong number or character has been selected, use the left selection key on 
either the microphone keypad or control head to clear it and move back one.
16.1.2 Using the PTT Key
The PTT key is used for voice transmission. 
1. Select the required channel or group.
2. Check that the channel is clear. If the green LED is glowing, the 
channel is busy and you may not be able to transmit.
