After pressing the skip button(s), the <A> button scrolls up from that
spot and the <D> scrolls down. At any time, the <*> brings you to
the top of the top ten list and the <#> brings you to the bottom of the
table.
Press the <C> button to exit the alias mode.
When the desired target Alias is displayed in the radio display,
pressing the PTT button completes the call to the targeted radio.
If an alias table exists but you desire to enter the actual ID, press
and hold the <B> button for more than 2 seconds to place the radio
in ID mode for ID selection.
Canned Message Capabilities
In GE Star® and DTMF signaling modes, the message type can be
changed to a unique value and emergency activation can be
programmed for an available radio button and man down input can
be attached to an external switch to send canned messages. In
MDC-1200®, this is limited to the definition of the emergency
message. To send canned messages, the message repeat counter
should be set to 1 and the message will be considered non-critical.
The radio display will present ―Msg Sent‖ instead of ―Emrgency‖ or
―Man-Down‖. Man down input terminals on the VMDE-200 are feed-
throughs T1 and T2 where T1 is the high side and T2 is ground. T1
must not be attached to any point that exceeds 3.6 VDC or
microprocessor damage will result.
Non-critical messages as described above are transmitted on the
current radio channel and do not expect an acknowledgment.
However, if an acknowledgment is received the radio display will
show –ACK- .
