Listen Mode (APPI-Com only)
STARTING MENU If enabled, this mode allows LISTEN Radios from OTHER kits, knowing their Kit ID, without
being able to enter the conversation. After confirming the mode and the channel number, the user may
enter the Kit ID with the 3 keys:
Next Digit Validate Upper number
When Validating Kit ID, the Radio switches to the LISTEN mode.
If the radio detects an UNKNOWN kit ID on the channel, it’ll show WRONG KIT OR
CH” and invite you to switch the Radio off, or re-enter the information.
MULTIplex mode
This configuration allows create teams of more than 3 members. In that case, the 2 first modules (rank 1 &
2) are offering a full-duplex hands-free communication in Talkmode. All other modules in the kit share
the third talk slot and can alternatively get into the conversation.
It can be useful that a Multiplexmodule is connected to a Push To Talk, so that it does not prevent the
other multiplex to intervene. Alternatively, they may appropriately set the “VOX” function.
If configured so, the Multiplex radios can switch to several groups (up to 10) by switching channel (see
« configuration software ») while the “TALK” radios can only be part of their own group.
Selecting another Kit/Channel
To change channel (thus group): long press the Central Key to reach the
Channel selection menu. The user has 5 sec. to select the channel then the
Kit ID: with no action, the Radio goes back to previous settings.
NOTE: the radio stores the Kit ID set for each channel, so the user only has to change the channel to be part
of the other groups, sequentially.
Operational limitations of the MULTIplex:
At least one “Talk” module has to be at reach to INITIATE the conversation.
Without ANY TALK at reach of ANY MULTI, these will stop communication after a few minutes,
awaiting a TLK to be at reach.
Pager signal. Any “Multiplex” module can send out a pager signal (see Sending out a pager signal:
alert / call), if NO OTHER “Multiplex” module is emitting at the very moment.
It is NOT possible to activate the LWP on a MULTI Radio.
