BATTERIES

FITTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY

To fit, unpack the battery and slot it into the rear of the hand-held. Push the battery down untilthe catch clips into the bottom of the case. The battery is fully secure when this catch hasclipped into position. To remove, push the catch upward towards the top of the hand-held.The battery pack will unclip and can then be removed.

BATTERY CHARGING

The battery should only be charged with Sepura Limited

approved battery chargers. Failure to use an approvedbattery charger will invalidate the warranty of the battery andthe hand-held.

A range of battery chargers is available that allow the batteryto be charged while fitted to, or removed from, the hand-held(depending upon the charger model and hand-held typeselected). When the battery is fitted to the hand-held, thebattery can be charged via the facility connector located atthe base of the hand-held. If the battery is charged with thehand-held switched on, the time remaining to charge thebattery to its full capacity is shown on the hand-held’sdisplay.



MOD-06-366 sepura



When charging, the colour of the LED on the hand-held indicates the progress of batterycharging: orange shows charging in progress, green shows charging complete, red showscharging failure. A fully discharged battery may not provide enough power to support the

hand-held display during the initial phases of charging. However, when sufficient power isavailable, the display will operate.

The battery includes circuitry to protect against damage caused by accidental shortingof the contacts. Once the battery has protected itself, it will not operate again until ithas been removed from the hand-held and charged.

The hand-held will warn the User of a Low battery condition by displaying the Low batteryIcon and repetitively flashing the Red LED for 1 second at 1 second intervals.

As with all batteries, charging cycles reduce the cell capacity. The battery is specified to have

retained a nominal 80% of its original fully charged capacity after 500 charge cycles. Chargingmust be conducted using a Sepura approved charger.

Batteries have a finite life; they will deteriorate if they are not charged on a periodicbasis. Batteries should not be left for more than 6 months without recharging as thecells will deteriorate and the batteries will not be recoverable.

The latch on the battery is specified to 6000 insertions (equivalent to 8 insertions per day over2 years if used every day of the year.

Many professional and consumer products from cycle lamps to mobile phones and laptop

computers now use rechargeable lithium-ion (Li-ion) cells because of their small size and highenergy density. When charged and used correctly these are reliable and safe. There aresome simple precautions that should be observed when charging and using Li-ion packs. Theprecautions below apply to most/all Li-ion battery packs and chargers.

1. Properly designed Li-ion batteries and chargers contain effective protection circuitry tosafeguard the pack during charging and use, but in some very rare circumstances ofinternal cell failure during charging, the protection circuits may be ineffective and the packmay overheat. To minimise the chance of this causing further damage, Li-ion batterychargers should be used in well ventilated areas away from combustible material. Forexample, don’t charge your TETRA battery, mobile phone battery or laptop battery withthe battery and charger very near to curtains, soft furnishings, paper or other combustiblematerial.

2. Copy batteries are available for many products, particularly mobile phones and morerecently TETRA radios, including those made by Sepura. These may be cheaper thanapproved batteries, but may not include protection features used in the approved battery,so may be less safe and should not be used.

3. Use only Sepura approved chargers for charging Sepura products. Non-approvedchargers may incorrectly charge the battery, leading to premature failure, or render thebattery potentially unsafe.

4. Sepura batteries are designed to be rugged and to give good service. However, as is thecase for all Li-ion batteries, it is possible for extreme mechanical damage to weaken theinternal structure of the cells within the battery. Therefore, if the battery casing showssigns of severe damage (not the minor scratches and bumps of everyday use), or has

been subjected to major mechanical abuse, do not continue to use the battery.

In order to operate the following components are required:

• TETRA Mobile/Gateway Transceiver Unit

• Power Cable Assembly

• An Antenna

Optional accessories that may be included:

• Mobile Console Unit

• Mobile Integral GPS Unit

• Applications Interface Unit (see next page)

The Mobile or Gateway should be installed by following the instructions in the Installation

Guide.

AUDIO ACCESSORY CONTROL

The mobile will support up to 4 audio accessories, and these can be any combinationselected from:

• none or one hands-free kits

• none to four handsets

• none to four fist microphones

The Mobile/Gateway supports the concept of a single controlling audio accessory for a call.The controlling audio accessory is the one in control of the call, and the only one on which the

microphone becomes active.

When a fist microphone or hands-free kit is used, the received audio is directed to theloudspeaker connected to the mobile unit. When a handset is used, the received audiois directed to the handset earpiece.

The controlling audio accessory is normally the Remote Microphone used in conjunction withthe Loudspeaker, i.e. the hands-free kit or ‘Public’ mode. If the user requires that a differentaccessory should become the controlling accessory this may be achieved by pressing thePTT button on that accessory or by taking that accessory off hook. If the new controllingaccessory has an earpiece then normally this is used for received audio instead of theLoudspeaker (‘Private’ mode).

When in ‘Private’ mode the user can switch to ‘Public’ mode by pressing the hands free softkey if configured. Taking a handset off hook, or using its PTT will return to ‘Private’ mode.

While the controlling accessory is not the Remote Microphone, the user may switch toanother accessory by pressing the PTT button on that accessory. Taking that accessory off-hook does not change the controlling accessory. This allows a second user to listen toreceived audio on another accessory.

If the controlling accessory is placed on-hook this will clear the call unless customiseddifferently. Other accessories can be put back on-hook without clearing the call in progress.



MOD-06-366 sepura



All earpiece audio is left on all the time in order that multiple users may listen to the receivedaudio.

The audio presentation for duplex calls depends on the capability of the controlling accessory.With a duplex controlling accessory, duplex calls have a duplex presentation, and with a halfduplex accessory duplex calls are controlled using the PTT button.

DUAL CONSOLES AND APPLICATIONS INTERFACE UNITS

The Mobile/Gateway unit supports the connection of up to two console units. Each consoleunit can be a standard console, complete with keypad and display, or an ApplicationsInterface Unit, which is similar to a console but which does not have a keypad and display.This enables the mobile to support the connection of up to four audio accessories.

If two consoles are fitted, they both display the same information. This makes it possible for auser to move from one console to another without having to take any special action. If two

users are using the same mobile, then operational procedures are required to ensure that theactions of the two users do not conflict.

On some configurations it will be possible to have a hands-free kit attached to each console.If this is the case, only one of the remote microphones will be live during a call. The remotemicrophone which is live will be the one attached to the console which accepted or made thecall or switched the call to hands-free.

NAVI-KNOB™ AND MODE BUTTON

All Sepura terminal products use a Navi-knob™ and Mode button to access and select themost frequently used terminal features. The Navi-knob™ is a continuous rotating knob that inits normal mode adjusts the volume. The Mode button also serves as an ON/OFF switch.

On the hand-held terminals the Navi-knob™ and Mode button allow single handed operationby the users.

The Navi-knob™ andMode button can be used

separately and inconjunction with each otherdepending upon thefunction required. SeeTable below:

Action Result

MOD-06-366 sepura



Do not disconnect the battery whilst the radio is still turned on, as this will prevent thecall history and any configuration changes that may have been made, from beingsaved.

WHISPER MODE

Whisper Mode adjusts the sensitivity of the microphone to allow “whisper operation.”

To enable, turn the Navi-knob™ or use the volume-down soft key (if programmed) until thevolume level display is at its minimum level. Then turn the Navi-knob™ again as if attemptingto decrease the volume further, or press the volume-down soft key. The terminal will emit a

low-high alert to indicate that Whisper Mode is enabled.

The terminal may be customised in one of the following ways to disable Whisper Mode.

a) turn the Navi-knob™ as if increasing volume, or use the volume-up soft key (ifprogrammed) until the Volume Level Display shows the minimum level or higher.

b) turn the Navi-knob™ or use the volume-up soft key (if programmed) until the volumelevel display is at its maximum level. Then turn the Navi-knob™ again as if attemptingto increase the volume further, or press the volume-up soft key.

In either case the terminal will emit a high-low alert to indicate that Whisper Mode hasbeen disabled

Note: If Covert Mode has been enabled from the Radio Settings menu (see section on RadioSettings) there will be no further increase in the sensitivity of the microphone if Whisper Modeis enabled.

It will be possible to programme a soft key function to toggle between Whisper Mode enabledor disabled.

DISPLAY OPTIONS

In order to make the text and icons on the screen more readable from a distance, e.g., whena terminal is used in a car kit, or is worn on the user’s body, Sepura terminals have aselection of text and icon display options.

NORMAL MODE

The user can select Normal Mode. Thisdisplays key elements of the screeninformation in a small size.

Activation of Normal Mode can be achievedin a number of ways. It can be activated asthe default from switch on or it can beswitched on or off by the user as they see fitusing a soft key (see section on Soft Keys).

LARGE MODE

The user can select Large Mode. Thisdisplays key elements of the screeninformation in a large size.

Activation of Large Mode can be achieved ina number of ways. It can be activated as

default from switch on or it can be switchedon or off by the user using a soft key (seesection on Soft Keys).

If the user chooses to change from Large Mode to Normal Mode or from Normal Modeto Large Mode, the terminal will display the Top Level screen after the mode changehas occurred.

When using Large Mode, some prompts or Icons may not be seen on the terminaldisplay.

If Large Mode is used this should be considered when defining the text strings for useon the terminal, so that both Normal and Large Mode prompts will be visible to theuser.

For some language variants, only Large Mode operation is available, due to the fontsrequired to display the characters.



MOD-06-366 sepura



INVERTED DISPLAY

The user can select an inverted display. This displays allelements of the screen rotated by 180 Degrees.

The inverted display can be activated by the user whenrequired by using a soft key, if programmed (see section onSoft Keys).



MOD-06-366 sepura



NAVIGATING MENUS

MENU LEVELS

The menu structure has three levels.

TOP LEVEL

The top level screen displays Battery and Coverage indications and any informative Icons asto the state of operation of the terminal. The fast-access box in the centre of the screen

displays the selected talkgroup. If programmed, SRH3 and SRM3 terminals display thecurrent time in the middle of the bottom line.

SECOND LEVEL

This is the Subject Selection level, which allows the user to choose the Subject Menu toaccess the different options available on the terminal.

THIRD LEVEL

This is the Subject Menu level, where options can be set, numbers stored and messagescomposed.

MOD-06-366 sepura



SOFT KEYS

The terminals support a number of functions which can be customised to be accessed quicklyvia soft keys. All 12 keys of the radio keypad (1 – 9, *, 0, #) can be customised as soft keys,as well as the Green and Red Telephone Keys. The orange Emergency Button is also a softkey that can be used for another function if the emergency function is not required.

Press and hold the key for one second to activate the soft key function. A key click alert isheard after this time has elapsed.

Soft key use is very straightforward. There are single action functions that switch on or off ornavigation functions which navigate within menus. For functions that have a range of settings,such as volume control or talkgroup select, press the key a number of times until the desiredsetting has been reached.

If programmed, it is possible to assign a combination of functions to one soft key. On aterminal, a maximum of four soft keys may each be programmed to perform a sequence of upto eight actions.

For special functions such as Transmit Inhibit, the terminals use a “navigate to card” function.The difference with this soft key function is that the user is required to take some additionalaction once the function has been “navigated to”.

The required additional action will normally be pressing either the green telephone key to

activate or the red telephone key to deactivate. Some “navigate to” functions may requireadditional user input such as when “navigating to” status messages when it may benecessary to enter a number, for example.

There are many functions that can be programmed on each soft key. As such, it is notpossible to describe the functionality of what each soft key will do for specific customerterminals.



MOD-06-366 sepura



TEXT ENTRY AND EDITING

TEXT ENTRY METHODS Sepura terminals support two mechanisms for entering text: Multi-Tap and CharacterSelection Box Text Entry using the Navi-knob™. In both methods, the set of charactersavailable for entry can be selected by the user, so that upper case characters, lower casecharacters, numbers and special characters (e.g. punctuation) can be separated. This givesthe user full control over entered text while also speeding up text entry. Note that differentlanguage variants of the radio have different character sets.

All text entry and text editing is started in the same way, by pressing and holding the downarrow key. This will place a flashing cursor at the start of the message.

CHARACTER SET SELECTION The character set is selected by pressing the right arrow key repeatedly until the desired setis shown. The selected character set is displayed at the bottom of the screen. Depending on

the software version of the terminal, a character set selection box may be displayed on theleft of the display. In this case the Navi-knob™ or the right arrow key may be used to changethe character set, and allowing the box to timeout, or pressing the green telephone keyselects the character set indicated by the arrow cursor in the box.

CURSOR MOVEMENT While text is being entered the cursor advances automatically. To reposition the cursor in thetext and insert new text, first remove the character selection box by pressing the redtelephone key or the up arrow key. While no character selection box is displayed the cursorcan be moved around the text character by character by using the Navi-knob™ or by usingthe up and down arrow keys, which move the cursor line by line. Then use multi-tap orCharacter Selection text entry using the Navi-knob™ as described below.

MULTI-TAP TEXT ENTRY FROM THE KEYPAD

The user may select a character by pressing the appropriate key from the keypad which hasthe character assigned to it. The user should press the same key until the required characterappears on the screen. For example, on an alphanumeric keypad, in order to enter “YES” theuser would press key 9 three times so that “Y” is displayed. The cursor will then move to theright of the Y and the user should then press key 3 twice so that “E” is displayed. The cursorwill then move to the right of the E and the user should then press key 7 four times so that Sis displayed. The cursor will move to the right of the last character entered.



MOD-06-366 sepura



CHARACTER SELECTION TEXT ENTRY USING THE NAVI-KNOB™

When the selected character set is visible at the bottom of the screen the user may rotate theNavi-knob™ to scroll through the character list. Pressing the green telephone key will enterthe character.

Upper Case

Lower Case

Special Characters

(including space)

Numeric Characters

DELETION OF CHARACTERS

To delete a character, the cursor should be positioned to the right of the character to be

deleted. The left arrow key should then be pressed.

LEAVING TEXT ENTRY OR EDITING MODE

To leave text entry or editing mode, either press the red telephonekey or press the up arrow key to remove the character selection box. or

Then press the green telephone key to save the text.



MOD-06-366 sepura



SECURITY AND PIN CODES

Sepura terminals can be programmed for PIN (Personal Identification Number) activation atswitch on. It is possible to program the terminals to enable the user to change the PIN code ifrequired.

There are two PIN codes that are used in the terminal:

• A four digit PIN at switch on.

• A Master Reset PIN (or PUK) of up to eight digits.

PIN ENTRY

At switch on the following screen will appear

Type in the PIN code (four digits) using the terminal’s keypad. Aseach digit is entered a star (*) will be placed in that digit position.

Press the green telephone key to continue.

The terminal will now switch on and display the Top Level Menuscreen

.



MOD-06-366 sepura



INCORRECT PIN ENTRY

If the user enters the PIN code incorrectly, the following screenwill appear.

If the user enters the incorrect PIN three times, the followingscreen will appear.

If the PIN has been entered incorrectly three times it will benecessary to type in the Master Reset PIN code (eight digits) (orPUK) using the terminal’s keypad. As each digit is entered a star(*) will be placed in that digit position.

The green telephone key should then be pressed to continue.

If the user enters the PUK incorrectly then it will be necessary to wait five seconds before re-entering the PUK .

After the correct PUK has been entered, the action taken by the terminal will depend onwhether it has been programmed to support PIN change using the Radio Settings menu. Ifthis is the case the 4 digit PIN will default to 1234 after a correct PUK has been accepted. Theuser may then change the 4 digit PIN using the PIN Change option in the Radio Settingsmenu .

If the terminal does not support PIN code change via the Radio settings menu, theterminal will revert to the last known PIN code if the PUK is entered



MOD-06-366 sepura



USER PROFILES

The User Profiles feature is customisable and so may not be available on every radio. If theUser Profiles feature has been programmed it allows the user to switch easily between pre-set combinations of alerts and settings on the radio to match the user’s circumstances orenvironment.

If the User Profiles feature is programmed there may be between two and ten pre-definedprofiles available.

Selecting a user profile may be achieved in one of the following ways:

a) Press the Mode button three times. A Browser box is displayed showing the currentlyselected User Profile. It is then possible to scan through all the available profilesusing the Navi-knob™. When the required profile is displayed in the Browser box itmay be selected by pressing the green telephone key.

b) By accessing the Profiles card in the Radio Settings menu.

c) If programmed, each user profile may be accessed by using a soft key. Please seesection on Soft Keys for further information.

An example of a User Profile is that the terminal could be set for use in a quietenvironment (for example a meeting) or if the user is “On Call” when all the audible alertsand backlight would be switched off so that the terminal would also give the impression ofbeing switched off, but in fact would remain fully functional.

When a User Profile has been selected the Radio Settings cards are updated to reflectthe settings resulting from the User Profile change. The Radio Settings cards may also beused to override the settings imposed by a change of profile. See section on RadioSettings.

Any of the following alerts and settings may be included in a User Profile:

• Any or all of the audible alerts

• Any or all of the LED alerts and indications

• Any or all of the vibrator alerts

• Reject Incoming Voice Calls setting

• Speaker volume

• Volume of audible alerts

• Backlight operation

• GPS operation

• Covert Mode operation

•

Lone Worker operation

CALL TYPES

Sepura terminals support the following voice call types:

Voice Call Type Description

Group

A half duplex point to multi-point call where immediatecommunication can take place between the calling and thecalled users without the alerting process and without anexplicit response from the called user that he hasanswered. Each user needs permission to transmit for eachtransaction.

Individual half duplex

A half duplex point to point call where immediatecommunication can take place between the calling and thecalled users without the alerting process and without anexplicit response from the called user that he hasanswered. Each user needs permission to transmit for eachtransaction.

Individual full duplexFull duplex Point-to-point call (e.g. a telephone call). Theuser is alerted and can choose whether to accept or rejectthe call.

PABX A call to a PABX user.

PSTN A call to a user on a telephony network.

Broadcast A unidirectional point to multi-point mode of transmission.Terminals can only receive this type of communication.

Emergency CallsA high priority call, which pre-empts resources on thenetwork and other users.

Sepura terminals support the following data call types:

Data Call Type Description

Individual full duplex circuitmode Data

Status Message

A status message may have 65536 possible status values.Of these, value 0 is defined to mean ‘Emergency,’ values 1to 32767 are reserved, and values 32768 to 65535 areavailable for network or user specific definition.

SDS MessageA user defined message that can be sent by individuals andreceived by individuals and groups.

Packet DataTETRA packet data extends TETRA to act as an IP subnet.This enables application programmers to build theirapplications in a well-standardised environment.



MOD-06-366 sepura



GROUP CALLS (POINT-TO-MULTIPOINT)

TALKGROUP SELECTION

This terminal has not yet attached to a group. This could bedue to a number of reasons:

1: The terminal has just been reprogrammed.

2: The terminal was attached to a DGNA talkgroup which wasthen de-assigned.

Having no attached group could be avoided if adefault quick group has been customised in theterminal.

This screen shows that the terminal is attached to talkgroup591 “Blue 1” in the “Blue” folder. This was the last selectedtalkgroup.

To attach or change a talkgroup, the Mode button should be pressed once. This selectsTalkgroup Selection mode and displays the Talkgroup Selection Box. The Up and Downarrow key may then be used to select the talkgroup folder and the Navi-knob™ may berotated to select the desired talkgroup. Alternatively the talkgroup may be selected directly byentering its number using the keypad, irrespective of the displayed folder.

Once the desired talkgroup has been found and is displayed on the terminal, the group willattach after a few seconds or immediately if the PTT button is pressed once. The screenshould then change as below.

This screen shows the new talkgroup the user wishes toselect.

This screen shows the new talkgroup has been selected.

Talkgroups can also be selected using the “Home Group” or a “Quick Group” soft key.“Quick Group” soft keys are a programmable function. It is possible to have up to five

“Quick Group” soft keys programmed. The “Home Group” soft key selects the firsttalkgroup in the current folder. These soft keys can be used while displaying anyscreen. It is not necessary to press the Mode button before using them.

Another talkgroup selection method is to use the “last requested group toggle” soft keyfunction. This allows the user to toggle to the previously selected talkgroup. This is aprogrammable function.

CHANGING THE TALKGROUP FOLDER

Folders are used to organise the talkgroup list and to speed up the selection of the user’smost frequently used groups.

If more than one talkgroup folder has been customised, a talkgroup folder may be selected asfollows:

Just as for changing talkgroups, press the Mode button once. Then using the up and downarrow navigation key the folder can be changed.

Changing the folder may also change the talkgroup. This will always happen unlessthe currently selected talkgroup is also in the newly selected folder.

If the user does not wish to use talkgroup folders, or the talkgroup to be selected is notcontained within a folder, then the “All” talkgroups option may be selected.

To select the “All” talkgroups list, the Mode button should be pressed once and the up anddown arrow keys may be used until “All” is displayed.

Once the talkgroup has been selected and the screen returns to the normal default, the “All”folder information will disappear.

MAKING A GROUP CALL

The sequence of events involved in making a Group Call is as follows:

When a talkgroup has attached, press and hold the PTT.

The terminal status text will change from “Ready” to “Dialling”.This indicates that the terminal is attempting to set up the call.

The next screen change will indicate that the network hasaccepted the call and is waiting to allocate a traffic channel. Thisis indicated by the terminal status text changing to “Calling”.

(On a heavily loaded network this message may appear for sometime.)

When a traffic channel has become available the LED will displayred (or amber if so customised), and a confirmation tone will begenerated to accompany the next screen change. The terminal

status text will then change to “Talk.”

The user can now speak into the microphone.

When the user releases the PTT the LED displays green and theterminal status text will change to “Group Call”.

On a network that is lightly loaded it is possible that some of this information will not beseen as it appears very briefly before going into the next screen change.

If the user then presses the PTT again while the call is still active, the LED will again displayred (or the customised colour), a varying alert tone may be generated (programmable option)and the terminal status text will again change to "Talk". If there is already someone talkingwhen the PTT is pressed then a warning tone will be sounded by the terminal. During the call,the half duplex microphone (at the top of the radio) is active and all received audio is routed tothe half duplex loudspeaker (at the rear of the radio). In order to transmit, the PTT buttonshould be pressed before starting to speak and held down while speaking continues. Whenspeaking has finished, the PTT button should be released and another party involved in the

call can then press the PTT button on their radio and speak.



MOD-06-366 sepura



When transmitting, the LED is illuminated red (or amber if so customised). When receiving(i.e. another party is talking) the LED is illuminated green.

When the call has come to an end, the user who initiated the call can either wait for the

network inactivity timer to expire, which will clear the call, or press the red telephone key toclear the call. The terminal status text will then return to the default of "Ready…", and avarying tone will be generated. The Top Level screen (see section on Navigating Menus) willbe redisplayed.

RECEIVING A GROUP CALL

When an incoming group call initiated from another terminal is received, this will be indicatedby the terminal status text changing to “Group Call” (which is only visible in Normal TextMode). The LED will flash red, indicating a new call, and a new screen indicating the name ofthe talkgroup being used, talkgroup folder and the caller’s ID will be displayed. After a fewseconds, the LED will stop flashing red and will change to a steady state green.

This screen remains visible throughout the call except when the user selects an optionavailable from the In Call Navigation feature. Only the name will change depending on who istransmitting during the call. When another member of the group is transmitting, their TPI(Talking Party Identity) will be displayed on the screen.

If the ISSI (Individual Short Subscriber Identity) of the transmitting terminal cannot bematched with a Phonebook entry, then only the ISSI number is displayed.

When the call has come to an end the user who initiated the call can either wait for the

network inactivity timer to expire, or press the red telephone key to clear the call. The terminalstatus text will then return to the default of “Ready” and a varying alert tone is generated.

RECEIVING A BROADCAST CALL

A terminal may receive a Broadcast Call. This will be initiated from the Controller. Theterminal status text will change to “Broadcast Call” and the Broadcast Call Icon will be

displayed.

The LED will display green and a confirmation tone will begenerated. The user may now press the PTT and speak into themicrophone. The terminal status text will change to “Talk,” and thecolour of the LED will change to red (or amber if so customised).



MOD-06-366 sepura



When the PTT is released, the terminal status text changes to “PTT Call” and the LEDdisplays green.

During the call, the half duplex microphone (at the top of the radio) is active and all received

audio is routed to the half duplex loudspeaker (at the rear of the radio). To transmit, press thePTT button before starting to speak and hold it down while speaking. When you have finishedspeaking, release the PTT button and another party involved in the call can then press thePTT button on their radio and speak.

When transmitting, the LED is illuminated red or amber (depending on customisation) andwhen receiving (i.e. another party is talking) the LED is illuminated green.

To end the call, either party can press the red telephone key.

The called party may choose not to accept the call. In this case a message to indicate that thecall has been cleared will be displayed on the screen. If the terminal has a colour or greyscaledisplay a large triangle warning symbol will also be displayed.

RECEIVING INDIVIDUAL HALF DUPLEX CALLS

A terminal may receive individual half duplex calls which are either Direct Set Up (no need forthe user to respond) or Hooking calls (which require that the user responds). On receiving anindividual half duplex Hooking call the terminal will either vibrate or an intermittent audiblealert will be generated, or both. On receiving a Direct Set Up call an alert will be generated fora very short time. The terminal status text will change to “PTT Call” and the LED will flash redif the call is a Direct Set Up call, or amber if the call is a Hooking call. The screen will changeshowing the TPI (Talking Party Identity).

In the case of a Hooking Call the user may choose to answer the call by pressing the PTTbutton or to reject the call by pressing the red telephone key.

If the call has been accepted, then either party may end the call by pressing the red telephonekey.

The terminal status text will then change to “Ready” and a high low audible tone will begenerated.

Dial modes are configurable, and as such, it is possible that the dial modes will notfollow exactly what is described above.

MAKING FULL DUPLEX CALLS (TELEPHONE TYPE CALLS)

The sequence of events involved in making a full duplex call, with the associated screenshots is as follows:

Either enter the Phonebook menu, use the fast access keys toselect a Phonebook entry or dial the required number using thekeypad.

TETRA callsSelect the correct dial mode icon using the up and down arrow

navigation keys as required. PABX and PSTN Calls

Press the green telephone key.

The terminal status text will then change to “Dialling”.

This will be followed by “Calling” and the terminal will then generatea ringing tone indicating that the called party is ringing.

When the called party answers, the terminal status will change to“Talk”.

During duplex calls, the Duplex microphone (at the base of thehand-held terminal) and the Duplex Earpiece (on the front of thehand-held) are active, allowing the terminal to be held against thehead like a telephone handset or GSM ‘phone. The LED isilluminated green throughout the call and there is no need to pressthe PTT.

If an audio accessory is being used simply press the greentelephone key and continue fully hands free.

To end the call, press the red telephone key. The terminal willgenerate a varying alert tone to indicate that the call has been

cancelled.



MOD-06-366 sepura



RECEIVING FULL DUPLEX CALLS (TELEPHONE OR TETRA)

On receiving an incoming full duplex call, the terminal will vibrate or generate a telephoneringing alert, or both. The terminal status indication will change to “Telephone” and a CLI box(Calling Line Identity) will indicate the call originator’s identity.

If the terminal can match the incoming CLI with an identity or telephone number in itsPhonebook, then the text label associated with the number will be displayed as the CLI.

The user can choose to answer the call by pressing the green telephone key or to reject

the call by pressing the red telephone key.

If the user answers the call the terminal status will immediately change to “Completing”.

At this point the call has not been connected, but the user has confirmed to the network thatthey wish to accept the call. Once the network has finalised the connection, the terminalstatus will change to “Talk”. The terminal should be held against the head as with a telephonehandset or a GSM ‘phone. The user should speak with the mouth near the Duplexmicrophone and should not press the PTT button.

To end the call, press the red telephone key. The terminal will generate a double high lowtone to indicate that the call has been cancelled.

When the call is cancelled by either party, the other party will hear a call disconnect toneindicating the call has ended.



MOD-06-366 sepura



FULL DUPLEX CALLS, RECEIVING AS HALF DUPLEX

Due to operational needs the user may wish to answer an incoming full duplex call as a halfduplex call. This could be due to high ambient background noise levels where a full duplexcall could pick up too much background noise for clear communications.

Upon receiving an incoming full duplex call, the terminal will vibrate or generate a telephoneringing alert, or both. The terminal status indication will change to “Telephone” (only visible inNormal Text mode) and CLI (Calling Line Identity) will indicate the call originator’s identity.

To answer the call the user should press the PTT button. The terminal status will immediatelychange to “Completing” and then to “Talk”. The user should then press and hold the PTTwhile speaking, as for group calls and individual half duplex calls.

To end the call the red telephone key should be pressed. The terminal will generate a varyingalert tone to indicate that the call has been cancelled.

MISSED CALLS

If the terminal receives a full or half duplex call and the user does not answer or clear the callthe Call History icon will be displayed. The details of the caller’s identity and time and date ofthe call may then be found by selecting the Call History option (see section on Call History.)



MOD-06-366 sepura



EMERGENCY CALLS

All Sepura terminals are equipped with an emergency alarm button which can be used tomake an emergency call if an emergency arises. This button can be identified by its uniqueorange colour and location.

On the hand-held terminal it is located on the top of the terminal between the antenna and theNavi-knob™. On the Mobile and Gateway it is located on the left hand side of the consolebelow the Navi-knob™.

Emergency Button

To avoid accidental operation of this feature, the emergency button must be held down for acustomised period before it operates (usually 2 seconds). When the emergency button ispressed, depending on customisation, an emergency status message is automatically sent toan individual, the dispatcher or the currently selected group, and/or an emergency speech callis set up to one or more users.

The use of the live microphone during an emergency call, when the radio alternately transmitsand receives without the user needing to press a key, is also customised by the programmingsoftware.

On the colour and greyscale hand-held terminals which are initiating or receiving anEmergency call a large Emergency Symbol will be displayed for the duration of theEmergency call. On the colour terminals the symbol displayed will be red.



MOD-06-366 sepura



Additionally, the mobile can clearly indicate when there is an incoming emergency call byflashing its backlight red. Once acknowledged, the backlight and LED are lit as per a normalcall of the same kind for the duration of the call. On initiation of an emergency call from the

mobile the display will be backlit amber on the transmit duration of the live microphone cycleand green on the receive duration of the live microphone cycle.

The emergency button can be programmed to react in a number of different ways:

Setting Description

Alarm Key Activation Time

To guard against accidental operation the button can beprogrammed to activate the alarm only if the button isdepressed for a programmable period of time (typically twoseconds).

Live Microphone

When the emergency button is activated, the terminal canbe programmed to transmit automatically for a programmedperiod of time with live microphone. When the terminal hasfinished transmitting, it can automatically change to receivemode for a period of time without needing to use the PTTbutton.

This can be a cyclic operation, when the terminal

continuously transmits and receives until reset by either theuser or the dispatcher, or it can be programmed as a single-shot “one-transmit one–receive” operation or it can cycle fora number of predetermined transmissions.

Call Destination

When the emergency call is activated, the call goes to thecurrently selected talkgroup, or it can be programmed to goto a specific address (such as a dispatcher).

Alarm Status Call

When the emergency call is activated, the terminal can beprogrammed to send an emergency status message (statuscode 0) to the currently selected talkgroup, or to a specificaddress.

Alarm Priority

The terminal can be programmed with various prioritieswhen the emergency button is activated. This wouldtypically be set as a pre-emptive call (Priority 15), so thatwhen activated, even if there is no network resourceavailable, the network will automatically release trafficchannel resources for the call.

Current Location

If the terminal is equipped with a GPS module, it can beprogrammed to send the current location or last knownposition of the terminal.



MOD-06-366 sepura



MAKING AN EMERGENCY CALL

When the emergency button is pressed the terminal will display “Talk” (only visible in NormalText mode) in the terminal status area of the display. An “Emergency” icon will be displayedand a high pitched audible alert will be generated indicating the call has been activated.

The following screens show the sequence of events that occur when an emergency call (withstatus code) is activated.

Event 1

Event 2

Event 3

Event 4

The terminal will illuminate the LED red, showing the unit is transmitting and will then activatethe microphone for a predefined (programmable) period of time. When the terminal stopstransmitting it will show “Emergency” in the terminal status area of the display (Normal TextMode only). The LED will also change to green.

Although there are 4 distinct events during the Emergency call activation, the callsetup time is actually significantly less than a second.



MOD-06-366 sepura



CANCELLING AN EMERGENCY CALL

If the originator of the emergency call wishes to cancel the call they can use one of twomethods which will have been selected when programming the terminal.

Option Description

Secure exit The call originator must press and hold the alarm button in thesame way as the call was initiated.

Red telephone key exit The call originator presses the red telephone key.

RECEIVING AN EMERGENCY CALL

When a terminal receives an emergency call the user does not need to take any action. Theemergency call will be received just like any other call except that the terminal statusindication will immediately change to “Emergency” (only visible in Normal Text mode), and thescreen will display the terminal identity, group identity and an emergency symbol. At the sametime the LED will flash red and the LCD backlight will illuminate for a few seconds. Also a highpitched audible alert will be activated leaving no doubt that the call being received is anemergency call. During the transmissions from the call initiator, the receiving terminals willalso receive an intermittent alert again leaving the receiving parties in no doubt that this is anemergency call.

The receiving user cannot cancel the call. If the user presses the red telephone key to exit thealarm call they will be brought back into the call under late entry signalling, until the call hasbeen cancelled by the dispatcher.

Although both of the emergency call exit functions will clear the emergency call onthe call originator’s terminal, it will not remove the alarm from the system. It shouldalso be noted that those terminals alerted to the emergency may, depending uponthe infrastructure configuration, remain in the emergency call condition until thedispatcher clears the call from the system.



MOD-06-366 sepura



DIRECT MODE CALLS (DMO)

The terminal may be used to communicate directly with other TETRA radios without the useof a network. This is called Direct Mode Operation. DMO is selected either by using a soft key(depending on customisation) or by activating a card in the Radio Settings menu. The radioleaves the network and tunes to the selected DMO talkgroup. DMO talkgroups are selected inthe same way as normal talkgroups.

DMO supports half duplex group calls and pre-emptive emergency calls. It does not supportindividual calls. Group Calls will be made and received in the same way as for terminalsoperating in TMO. See section on Group Calls.

Calls using the emergency button can only be configured as pre-emptive emergency calls tothe currently selected DMO talkgroup on the radio.

Note: Switching to Direct Mode Operation means communications to the dispatcher and otherusers on the network are not possible, unless they also switch to DMO and select the samegroup, or communicate through a Direct Mode Gateway.

When a Direct Mode Gateway is detected by the terminal, a gateway icon is displayed and, ifprogrammed, an audible alert will be generated:

If the terminal moves out of the range of the Gateway, an audible alert will be sounded (if

programmed) and the Gateway icon will be removed from the screen.Group calls can be made via the Gateway to Trunked Mode Operation radios including thedispatcher. Also, a terminal operating in DMO which is in range of a Gateway (icon displayed)may receive a Group call from the network via the Gateway. In order to answer the call theuser should press the PTT.

It is possible that a terminal operating in DMO but not within the range of a Gateway may beable to hear the speech of another user who is in range of a Gateway and who is involved in aGroup call via the Gateway. In this case the Communication Type Mismatch icon will bedisplayed on the terminal which is out of range of the Gateway to indicate that the user cannottake part fully in the call. If that user attempts to respond to the overheard speech, anyterminals within the Gateway range which can hear will also display a Communication TypeMismatch icon to emphasise to them that the speech is not being routed via the Gateway to

TMO users.

If a Gateway receives an individual full duplex call it will send an SDS message to theintended recipient of the call showing “Missed Gateway Call” plus the dialling mode andidentity of the originator of the call.

If required, DMO range can be extended by using a repeater. If a repeater is detected, therepeater icon is displayed:



MOD-06-366 sepura



DIRECT MODE GATEWAY OPERATION

Direct Mode Gateway operation (or Gateway Mode) is available only on Mobile and Gatewayterminals.

A Direct Mode Gateway links localised Direct Mode (DMO) communications with usersoperating on a Trunked Mode (TMO) Network. The Gateway will re-transmit informationreceived on the Direct Mode Interface onto the Trunked Mode Air Interface.

SWITCHING TO GATEWAY MODE

The terminal can be switched into Gateway Mode using the Radio Settings menu on theradio. Select Gateway Mode using the green telephone key.

When in Gateway Mode, with the exception of emergency calls, no calls (voice ordata) can be made or received on the terminal being used as a Gateway. Theterminal is acting only as a relay between Direct Mode and Trunked Mode.

Once the terminal is switched into Gateway Mode, it will proceed to check that the DMOchannel is not busy and that no other gateways are detected offering the same or anoverlapping DMO service that is operating on the same frequency.

CONFIGURING THE GATEWAY FOR USE

To use the terminal as a gateway, it must be attached to both a trunked mode group and adirect mode group. The direct mode group must be selected once the terminal has been setto work in Gateway Mode.

Before switching the terminal to Gateway Mode, the trunked mode group required forGateway operation must be selected. This may be the same group as is already in use.

Set the terminal to work in Gateway Mode by using the options in the Radio Settings menu orby using a pre-defined soft key.

The direct mode group to be used with the gateway operation should then be selected. This isdone in the same manner as selecting a group when not operating in Gateway Mode (seeNote below).

When the terminal is configured, the top level screen will show both trunked and direct mode

groups that have been selected.

Trunked Mode Group

Direct Mode Group

The last direct mode group selected for use in Gateway Mode will be remembered bythe terminal and will be automatically used as the direct mode group next time theterminal is switched into Gateway Mode. This group may be changed in the normalway using the Mode button and the Navi-knob™ if it is not the required group.

Switching to Gateway Mode can also be achieved by configuring a soft key.



MOD-06-366 sepura



GATEWAY STATES

The Gateway can enter several states of operation, depending upon the status of callsthrough the Gateway, whether it has detected other Gateways present or other users of thedirect mode channel.

Gateway-monitoring

This will appear when first switched into Gateway Mode, orwhen the DMO frequency is changed by requesting a newtalkgroup or a previously Occupied or Reserved channel isdetected as free.

Gateway-monitoring-busy

This will appear if the DMO channel is detected as beingOccupied or Reserved.

Gateway-monitoring-other-presence

This will appear if another Gateway offering the same or anoverlapping DMO service has been detected.

Gateway-idle

This will appear if the Gateway is ready and has no calls inprogress.

Gateway-in-call

This will appear when a call is in progress through the Gateway.



MOD-06-366 sepura



CHANGING GROUPS IN GATEWAY MODE

To change the DMO group on the terminal while it is operating in Gateway Mode may be

done by following the same sequence of events as described for changing groups in DirectMode and Trunked Mode. When a group is changed in Gateway Mode, it is only the DMOgroup that is changed. The TMO group remains unchanged.

To change the TMO group, Trunked Mode operation should first be selected, then therequired Trunked Mode group may be selected. The terminal may then return to GatewayMode operation. When switching back to Gateway Mode, the last DMO group used inGateway operation will be automatically reselected.

USING THE EMERGENCY BUTTON IN GATEWAY MODE

If the emergency button is activated on aterminal that is operating in GatewayMode, any calls that are currently activethrough the Gateway will cease. Theterminal will revert to Trunked Modeoperation and initiate an emergency callto the attached Trunked Mode Group.Once the Emergency call has completed,the terminal will remain in Trunked Mode.

LEAVING A GATEWAY AS A STANDALONE INSTALLATION

If a Gateway is to be left unattended, for long periods of time, or as a permanent installation ina remote location, it is advisable to configure the Gateway as required (select and attach therequired Trunked Mode group and the required Direct Mode group) and then power theterminal off using the Mode button. This will save the configuration that has been set up.

Each time the terminal is powered on again, it will re-start with the configuration that has beensaved.

This procedure will guard against circumstances such as power failures, which mayunexpectedly turn the Gateway off and on again, in an uncontrolled manner, and will ensurethat it is always running with the correct configuration.

PAGING ALERTS

If the Paging Alerts feature is programmed it allows the terminal to act as a Pager when it is inits normal operating mode or when a User Profile has been selected which results in theterminal appearing to be switched off. The Paging Alert is triggered by receipt of a statusmessage which will automatically be displayed.

The status message will be marked with aflag icon to indicate that it is associated witha Paging Alert.

As with other messages in the MessageInbox, pressing the down arrow key displaysthe time and date when the message wasreceived.

If there is also an associated SDS message to explain the reason for the Paging Alert this willautomatically be displayed on the terminal. If a call is in progress the Paging Alert willinterrupt it. When the Paging Alert is triggered the user will hear a discordant two tone alarmand the LED will flash amber due to the status message being received.

It is possible to configure the terminal so that if a Paging Alert is triggered while the terminalappears to be switched off it automatically becomes fully operational on receipt of the statusmessage which triggered the Paging Alert.

To stop the alert sounding press any key.

END TO END ENCRYPTION

SECURE COMMUNICATIONS

End to End Encryption has been designed to provide maximum security on communications,whether operating in Direct Mode or Trunked Mode, irrespective of the security level providedby the network.

The shield icon indicates an ongoing group or individual halfduplex call is end to end encrypted.

When the terminal is idle, the shield icon also indicates that theselected group is configured for end to end encryption.

A radio that supports End to End Encryption may still be required to make calls that are notend to end encrypted. Half duplex calls to certain talkgroups and individual subscribers may

have been configured to be exempt from end to end encryption. Also, all telephone or TETRAfull duplex calls cannot be end to end encrypted. When such a talkgroup is selected or theradio participates in a call that is not end to end encrypted, the shield icon is not displayedand a periodic non intrusive audible alert is generated, if configured.

ZEROISING

A radio that supports End to End Encryption is loaded with sensitive cryptographic keys. Toavoid a potential security compromise, these cryptographic keys can be deleted if operationprocedures allow.

Note that it is not possible to accidentally make a non end to end encrypted call.Every talkgroup or individual subscriber that can be exempt from end to endencryption, has to be explicitly configured into the terminal.

If the message “Security Check Fail” is displayed while making or receiving calls, it isan indication that the terminal has not been configured properly. In such cases,please contact technical support in your organisation.

Please refer to your Security Officer for details on how to Zeroise a radio as well asrelated operational procedures.

PACKET DATA

The TETRA Packet Data service provides a mechanism to transport IP Traffic over a TETRAbearer, extending TETRA to act as an IP Subnet. This enables application developers todevelop in a standardised IP environment with the ability to use industry standard transportmechanisms such as UDP and TCP providing a framework to provide fast and flexible servicecreation. Packet Data services can only be accessed from the PEI port of the terminal.

Examples of Packet Data Applications could be:

• Database Inquiry• Mobile Office• Automatic Vehicle Location• Resource Management• Telemetry• Fingerprint validation• Still image transfer• Web Browsing (WAP)

For more information on this service, please contact [email protected].



MOD-06-366 sepura



CIRCUIT MODE DATA

Circuit Mode is the most familiar method of data transport to most people. In a circuit switchednetwork, the communication pathway between the sending and receiving parties is fixed forthe duration of the call and is not shared by other users.

In Circuit Mode, a communication is obtained between two users by establishing a fixedpathway. The route is established after the calling terminal initiates the call setup procedureby giving the network the addresses. During the connection, the circuit is equivalent to aphysical pair of wires connecting the two users.

Circuit Mode Data services can only be accessed from the PEI port of the terminal.

GPS

GPS is available for both the Mobile and hand-held terminals. In the case of the hand-heldterminal, Sepura supply a high-sensitivity GPS unit specifically designed for users operatingin urban canyon environments.

The behaviour of the GPS function is highly customisable, both from the customisation tooland over the air from a control room application.

The GPS functionality allows for both timed or distance based reporting.

The radio may also be customised to send position data automatically alongside Emergency

Calls or status messages.

The destination to which the GPS reports are sent may be changed over the air. If theterminal accepts a change of GPS destination command, it sounds a double low-high tonalalert, (New GPS Destination Alert), depending on customisation. The terminal is sent an SDSmessage to inform the user of the change of GPS destination.

Finally, if customised, it is possible to enable or disable the GPS function using a card in theRadio Settings menu. In the case where the user has disabled the GPS function the display

will show a warning icon .

FALLBACK

If a base station loses communication with the rest of the network, then any terminals usingthis base station continue to operate, but with a reduced service. Entry to and exit fromFallback Mode are indicated by an audible alert and a customisable text message.

If this occurs, the terminal will only be able to communicate with other terminals that areregistered on the same terminal site. No inter site communication will be available whilst inFallback Mode.

When a terminal enters Fallback Mode there are five main indicators;

• the Terminal status bar indicates

Fallback Mode and the yellow warningtriangle is displayed momentarily

• the Fallback Mode text box pops up inthe centre of screen for a few seconds.

• the RSSI antenna icon flashescontinuously. On this screen shot it is notvisible.

• the LED flashes amber intermittently (indicating limited service mode).

• The terminal generates a warning tone.

When the terminal leaves Fallback Mode:

• The terminal status bar returns to normal (Ready… or similar).

• The RSSI antenna icon stops flashing.

• The LED stops flashing.

• A text box pops up indicating normal operation.

• The terminal generates a warning tone.

HEALTH AND SAFETY

Use only a slightly damp soft cloth for cleaning all exterior surfaces. Do NOT use chemicalaerosol or abrasive cleaners.

To ensure efficient operation, clean the battery contacts periodically with a soft, dry cloth.

Never leave the radio in extreme temperatures (over 55°C), for example behind glass in veryhot, direct sunlight.

TRANSMIT INHIBIT

The radio can be switched into Transmit Inhibit should the user enter a RF sensitive area (e.g.a hospital). This mode is indicated by the LED rapidly flashing amber 4 times at approximatelytwo second intervals and the display of the transmit inhibit icon in the top right hand corner of

the screen. .

In this state, the terminal does not transmit under any circumstances in either TMO or DMO,except when using the emergency button if customised to do so. The terminal remains on theselected group and in some circumstances can still receive conversations from this talkgroup.

The terminal can automatically send a status message to the customised destination whenthe terminal enters Transmit Inhibit, and again when it leaves Transmit Inhibit.

Use of the emergency button whilst in Transmit Inhibit is supported; however, the time to setup the emergency call could be increased by a few seconds.

RADIATION PROTECTION

The terminals fully comply with the NRPB specification EN50361 and the ICNIRP guidelinesfor exposure to electromagnetic fields mandated for mobile phones (2W per kg over a 10gsample).

ELECTRO MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY

The terminals meet the EMC requirements specified by the ETSI specification ETSI EN 301489-18.

TYPE APPROVAL

The terminals have been self-certified to RTTE Directive EN 303 035-1 and CE marked to1999/05/EC.

ACCESSORIES

Only accessories supplied or approved by Sepura Limited are recommended for use with theterminals. Any accessory used that is not supplied or approved by Sepura Limited could

cause damage to the terminals and may invalidate the warranty. For safety reasons SepuraLimited do not recommend that accessories be used with a hand-held without first gainingapproval from Sepura Limited to do so. When the accessory socket is not used, pleaseensure the rubber plug is in place to maintain environmental protection.

ADDITIONAL NOTES APPLICABLE TO HAND-HELD

BATTERY SAFETY

Please observe the following before handling batteries:

To prevent injury, do not allow metal objects to contact or short circuit the battery terminals.

Make sure that the battery terminals do not become dirty.

Do not immerse in water or incinerate.

If you need to replace the battery, use the Sepura Limited approved battery types.

BATTERY DISPOSAL

Batteries must be disposed of in the correct manner according to Sepura environmentalpolicy. If in any doubt, refer to your supplier or local Sepura Limited representative.

ACOUSTIC SHOCK

Sepura Limited has engineered an innovative audio solution for the terminal. Duplex audio

(for telephone type calls) and the half duplex audio (for radio calls) are directed to differentloudspeakers.

Duplex audio is routed to the low power Duplex Earpiece on the front of the radio. A morepowerful loudspeaker, situated on the rear of the radio, is used for half duplex audio. Thisloudspeaker directs the loud audio away from a user’s ear should the user accidentallyanswer a half duplex call as though it were a duplex call.

WARNING: Hold the radio close to the ear only when making, or receiving, duplex calls.

ANTENNA

When fitting the antenna, do not over-tighten. Do not use the radio without the antennaattached.
