TP-4800 Series Operation
NOTE: Fully charge your battery prior to operation.
Trunked and Conventional Mode
Your Maxon TP-4800 Series may be programmed to operate
with both Trunked and Conventional modes. Each System can
be individually programmed to operate in either the Trunked
or Conventional Systems. There are only a few differences in
their operation and these are detailed as follows.
Channel Monitoring
While on a Trunked System, channel monitoring is performed
automatically by the radio transceiver. In accordance with
the FCC Rules, while operating on a Conventional System
the channel must be monitored prior to transmitting. In both
Trunked and Conventional Systems, operation may vary from
System to System. Your Maxon Dealer will be able to assist
with particular operational parameters and procedures for the
various Systems and functions.
System "Handshaking"
In a Trunked System, when the P-T-T button is pressed, the
red TX indicator flashes momentarily to allow the transceiver
and System to connect properly. When the red TX indicator
glows steadily, voice transmission may begin. If your Maxon
Dealer has enabled the "Clear to Talk" tone option, the radio
will emit a short tone signalling voice transmission may occur.
In Conventional Systems, there is no System "handshaking"
and voice transmission may start immediately.
