not be activated in a radio until the system manager sends an activation message. Each radio that receives
and acknowledges the regrouping instructions is successfully regrouped.
Pressing and holding the
button for 2.5 seconds toggles the user into and out of the dynamic regroup
groupset. A double beep will sound for entry or exit. The display will indicate REGRP_0x where "x" is a
digit of 1 to 8 indicating the group (when dynamic regroup has been enabled by the user). If the radio is in
dynamic regroup and the user selects a group that has not been regrouped, the display will show NO
ENTRY. The radio will be prevented from transmitting and receiving calls in this condition except for
scanned groups.
After the time-out expires or the
key has been pressed (the key will override the time-out
period), the status is selected and will be transmitted to the site or stored in the radio memory where it can
be polled by the site at a future time.
8.26.1 Emergency Operation
If the pre-programmed groupset on the currently selected system contains an EMER/HOME group and
the radio is in dynamic regroup, the radio will declare the emergency on the currently selected dynamic
group.
8.27 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 buttons, 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 detailed operation and assignment of macro keys, contact your communications supervisor or
administrator.
8.28 PORTABLE DATA
The P5400 series portable radios, when operating in the EDACS Trunked configuration, permit both
voice and data calls to be transmitted and 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 conventional mode.
The radios can be connected to a Mobile Data Terminal (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).
8.28.1 Displays
The following will be displayed during the various states of data mode of operation:
TX DATA
Appears on top line of display when the radio is transmitting a data call.
RX DATA
Appears on top line of display when the radio is receiving a data call.
DATA OFF
Appears on top line of display when the radio is in the data disabled state.
