User's Manual

16
If the control point is using a KG208 or KG510, it may be programmed to display the ANI of any radio on
the channel. With another type of base station, equipment is available to display the ANI. In either case,
the operator at the control point will know which radio is transmitting.
3.4.8 KILL MODE
If this feature is programmed, the radio may be disabled or “killed” by another operator in the system if he
knows the proper kill code and kill password.
This feature may be used if the radio or vehicle is stolen or
lost. The radio must be turned on and the kill code must be sent on the selected channel. When the kill
code is properly received, the radio will answer back (transpond) with its ANI number, then become
disabled and the display will show F. If the radio is turned off, out of range or on a different channel, the
Kill feature will not operate and the transpond will not be heard. After entering the kill mode, the radio is
totally disabled and must be returned to a service center for reprogramming. Information regarding kill
procedures may not be made available to all users.
3.4.9 EMERGENCY ALARM
If this feature is programmed, the radio will be capable of sending an alarm when the user is in danger or
injured. To activate the alarm, press SHIFT, PTT and any keypad button, all at the same time
. Also, the
radio may be equipped with a momentary ALARM switch on the floor of the vehicle. The radio will switch
to an emergency channel, transmit the radio Emergency ANI, then stay in the transmit mode for 10 or 20
seconds to alert others. The display will show E. During the time the transmitter is activated, the
microphone is active so that other users may monitor activity in the vehicle. This is followed by a period of
silence (no transmit). If programmed to do so, the radio will send a beep—beep—beep sound as an
audible alert during the transmit period. A timer is also programmed which turns off the alarm after 1 to
15 hours. The radio may be silenced by sending its kill code from another radio during the period when it
is not transmitting (see Kill Mode on previous page).
With proper display equipment, the operator at the control point will know which radio is transmitting and
that an emergency exists.
3.4.10 USER PASSWORD (PIN Number)
When this feature is programmed, you must enter the proper Personal Identification Number (up to 6
digits) before the radio will operate. This prevents unauthorized use of the radio. When the radio is turned
on, the display will show PLS PIN (please enter PIN). The operator must press * to clear the display, then
enter his password. If the correct number is not entered in a certain number of attempts, the radio will
enter the kill mode (see above) and must be returned to a service center for reprogramming.
3.4.11 SELECTIVE CALL OPERATION (sel call)
If this feature is programmed, selective call may used to call individual or groups of users within the
system. Each radio is assigned a specific “phone number”. The radios are normally muted until their
specific number is called. The radio supports DTMF and 5Tone, encode and decode formats. Before
using selective call you must first select the desired tone format using SHIFT, 0 for 2 seconds.
A memory is included to store up to 10 frequently called numbers (see SHIFT 3 below). These numbers
may contain any of the 16 keypad digits in any sequence.
3.4.12 PLACING A CALL, DTMF Mode
In DTMF mode
, digits are transmitted as they are entered. Only digits 1 through 9, 0 and A may be used
as the first digit. Keys B, C & D have specific functions when entered alone. After the first digit, any of the
16 digits may be used. Up to 16 total digits may be entered. If the digits are entered quickly, the other
radio may transpond (send an acknowledge tone) after the last digit is entered. However, it may be
necessary to send the number again. Press SHIFT, then D. A
icon will appear in the display
indicating that the tones are being transmitted. To redial, press D. If the call is received, the other radio
will answer back (transpond) with a short tone, then “ring” several times to signal the operator. That
operator may then answer the call. After a number is sent, a new number may be entered. It is not
necessary to clear the display.
