NOTE
For non-repeater applications, all system transceivers MUST be set to the
same channel and code. Cross channel or cross code operation is not
possible.
During idle periods, the Model 1225 will power down most of the receive circuits.
The Model 1225 Hand Held unit only transmits when the PTT switch is depressed. The integral,
side panel mounted PTT is a momentary switch and must be held down for the duration of the transmit interval.
Optionally, the Model 1230-04 Surveillance Microphone/Earpiece Assembly can be used with the Model 1225 Hand
Held Transceiver.
2.3 BATTERY
The Model 1225 Hand Held transceiver operates from a 1200 mAh or an 1800 mAh Nickel
Cadmium, rechargeable battery. The battery slides onto the Model 1225 battery clip assembly located on the bottom
of the unit. To remove the battery, push the retaining clip upwards towards the top of the unit and slide the battery
in the direction opposite the clip. When installing a battery, insure the grooves on the top of the battery are properly
aligned with the baseplate. The battery should slide on easily.
A blinking PWR LED on the Model 1225 indicates low battery conditions. The battery should be
replaced immediately with a fully charged battery. The Model 1225 Hand-Held transceiver will operate for
approximately 180 minutes in receive mode or 15 minutes in transmit mode after a battery low condition is
indicated. Only critical transmissions should be made after the battery low condition is indicated.
2.4 PRIVACY CODES
Privacy keys are stored in non-volatile memory. The keys are loaded into memory using the
Model 1260 Key Loader. If a keyed unit is lost or stolen, the keys in the remaining units can be changed quickly to
maintain the overall security. Code selection is made using the top panel switch. Two codes selections are
available, common (C) and private (P). The C code is factory set on all units and provides a common scrambler
code for use during inter-agency operations. The P code is intended to be agency or group specific. The P code can
be changed by the user. In operation, the Model 1225 uses different codes for Channel A and Channel B operation.
To load a P code into the Model 1225, use the Model 1230-03 Adapter Cable to connect the
Model 1260 Key Loader to the key loader connector located on the rear side of the Model 1225. The POWER
indicator on the Model 1260 should light (providing the Model 1225 is powered on). The Model 1260 is powered
from the Model 1225. Select a code by rotating the KEY NUMBER thumb wheel switches on the Model 1260.
(Selecting a code number above 300 will result in an error indication on the Model 1260.) Depress the LOAD KEY
button on the Model 1260 to download the selected key. The KEY LOADED indicator on the Model 1260 should
light, indicating that the new keys were successfully loaded into the Model 1225. If the LOAD FAIL indicator
lights, the key load sequence did not succeed. If this occurs, check the setting of the KEY NUMBER switches to
ensure that it is not set above 300. Verify that the interface plug on the Model 1260 cable is fully seated into the
KEY LOADER connector on the Model 1225. Continuing LOAD FAIL indications mean that either the Model
1260 or the Model 1225 is defective and should be returned for repair. If a Model 1260 is suspected of failure, it
should be tried with another Model 1225. If failures still occur, the Model 1260 is defective.
