Information on the Connection within the group

Depending on the chosen configuration, the radio module can indicate (Audio messages) its

connection/disconnection status with other members of the team. There are 3 possible connection levels

(Configuration software):

➢ NO message: may be useful when the wearer is in an area where connection is weak and he doesn’t

want to hear the connect/disconnect message too often.

➢ APPI Network connection (default mode): The Radio plays “Connected” as soon as it gets synched

with another one. It plays «disconnected» when no radio left is at reach.

➢ SafeLine® (Safety Pack): This patented mode lets the APPI-Com user know

in quasi-real time WHICH module is connected in the team.

At least ONE headset HAS be connected to the Radio (wired or Bluetooth) to synch

the radio with the others: if not the system will ask to connect one.

Using TALK modules

While receiving a signal from #2 (example) the wearer will hear « 2 Connected »), while user #2 will hear “1

connected”. When module #3 comes into the conversation both users #1 and #2 will hear « 3 connected »

and, user #3 will hear « 1 Connected » and « 2 Connected».

Disconnection: if module #1 loses user #3 it’ll play « 3 Disconnected».

Finally, when all others modules are disconnected, the user will hear « APPI-Com disconnected ».

Using Multiplex modules (2 TALK and 2 MULTI, as an example)

Say the 2 TALK modules are connected, when the first MULTI (#3) comes in the two TALK modules will play

« Multi connected », indicating that at least ONE MULTI is in the loop.

If a second MULTI (#4) comes in, only the OTHER MULTI will hear « Multi connected», indicating that another

MULTI is in. The two TALK will not play any message.

When one MULTI gets out of the loop, the OTHER MULTI ONLY will hear « « Multi disconnected» indicating

that he’s the last connected MULTI: the two TALK will not play any message.

When the last MULTI gets out of the communication loop, the two TALK modules will play «Multi

disconnected» indicating they are now alone in the loop.

NOTE1: the connection message tells the user that he receives signals from the others, but doesn’t imply

that they hear him.

NOTE2: do not use the Safeline® mode at range limit as it’d generate too many messages.

NOTE3: when the wired headset is disconnected, the others will hear the disconnection message (> 1

second). For a Bluetooth headset, the delay to hear the disconnection message may last up to 10 seconds.

Secret Mode (APPI-Com only)

It is possible to make the conversation “secret”: no other APPI Radio would be able to listen to conversations

coming from this kit. To activate this feature, you must use the "Configuration

Software".

In « Secret » mode, the smiley will be replaced by the Locker Logo:

EXAMPLE: Radio 2 in kit 21 is in "Secret" mode. Only Radios 1 and 3 from same kit

21 can communicate with it.
