NOTE:
Unintentional sound picked up by the Order Wire handset may key
the transmitter and interrupt the normal data flow through the trans-
ceiver. To prevent erratic operation of the system, remove the Order
Wire handset when the Order Wire is not in use.

Connecting a Hand-Held Terminal
A significant feature of GE MDS transceivers is the ability to accomplish many
radio programming and diagnostic tasks through software commands issued
from a Hand-Held Terminal (HHT). (See
Figure 24 on Page 45
.)
HHT control of the transceiver allows you to make several key measurements
and adjustments without the need for removing the transceiver cover, or having
to reconfigure internal switches or jumpers. The transceiver manual contains a
list of HHT commands for the specific radio installed in your system.
NOTE:
When an HHT is connected, th e normal data communications
between t he Interface/Utility Board and the transceiver will be
disrupted. Disconnect the HHT to restore normal operation. Addi-
tionally, with MDS
P-60 Digital Interface/Utility Boards, SW2 must
be returned to the
OUT
position when the HHT is disconnected.
