Ericsson EDACS MDX, Operator'S Manual

Page: 31 / 56

MOBILE DATA TERMINAL INTERFACE (OPTIONAL)
Your MDX radio is capable of interfacing with a Mobile Data
Terminal/Computer Host (EDACS ONLY). When placing or receiving data
calls, the MDX displays "DATACALL". When "DATACALL" is present,
voice calls are disabled. You will miss all voice calls made to the radio when
data is being exchanged.
You can stop transmission and reception of data using any of the following
methods:
1. Remove the microphone from the hookswitch.
2. Hold the CLR button and press PTT. A high pitched beep will be
heard. Release the CLR button.
3. Declaring an Emergency (not to be used unless an actual emergency
condition exists).
4. A group or system change.
When in the no-data mode, the radio displays "*NO DATA". This will
remain displayed until the no-data mode is cleared by one of the following
(depending on how it was activated):
1. Replace the microphone into the hookswitch.
2. Repeat the CLR-PTT sequence.
3. Use the CLR-PTT sequence during the emergency to enable data.
SCAN LOCKOUT MODE
Following the transmission or reception of a data call, if scan is enabled,
scanning will stop temporarily (duration pre-programmed). During this time
Emergency and Special Call are not operational during conventional
failsoft. Also, the GROUP control will not operate.
NOTE
Optional interface cables are required when operating with the Mobile
Data Terminal/Computer Host.
