PM1200 Mobile Radio with Control Head 11
Radio Firmware Features
5.0 Self Test
When the radio is on, the radio performs a routine check to initialize
and check for any possible hardware errors before actual usage.
When there is an error during the self test, an error code will appear.
Description of the error codes is as follow:
Error1: General communication data error
Most likely caused by one of the listed conditions in the Programming
Problems section.
Error2: Incompatible administrative data
Overhead programming data (which is not displayed by the
programming software) is incompatible with the radio. This also
occurs occasionally during radio-to-radio cloning.
6.0 Radio Configuration
The features described below are set as radio wide setting.
6.1 Time-Out Timer
Time-Out Timer (TOT) is the maximum amount of communication
time allowed per transmission, while operating the radio. Once this
time expires, the transmission is automatically terminated. TOT is set
through the CPS.
The transmit time-out timer can be set between 0.5 to 7.5 minutes in
increment of 0.5 minutes or "unlimited". When a call is initiated, the
radio starts the transmit time-out timer. During transmission, the radio
generates a time-out timer warning tone ten seconds before time-out,
indicating that the radio is about to stop transmitting. Another beep
will sound just before the deadline. To resume transmission, release
the PTT button and wait for the penalty timer to expire. If you press
the PTT button before penalty timer expires, the timer will restart, and
you will have to wait for another "penalty" period.
