- Page 22 3.2.5 Audio Indicators A key goal of the P Series radios is to maximise the efÞciency of your customer's workforce by enabling them to keep in touch without distracting them from their work. To support this goal, the radio provides audio feedback to inform the user of it's operating status, without requiring the user to take his eyes away from his current task The speciÞc information provided by Audio Alerts includes :...
- Page 23 Detailed Features/Benefits Description 2-11 3.2.6 Display The P080 models have a built-in LCD display which supports : 7 "starburst" format characters : enables your customer's workforce to use their radios more efÞciently by supporting Channel Aliasing and menu-based function activation 9 icons : the top row of the display consists of intuitive icons that provide the radio user with quick visual indication of the radio's current operating status.

Page 25: Audio Quality Enhancement
Detailed Features/Benefits Description 2-13 Audio Quality Enhancement 3.3.1 Audio Processing Filter The Audio Processing Filter (APF) is basically an audio high pass Þlter that can be programmed to be either on or off using the CPS. You will need to decide whether or not to activate the APF, depending upon the typical proÞle of the receive audio on your individual customer's systems: The default APF setting is "off". -
Page 26: General Operational Capabilities
General Operational Capabilities 3.4.1 Private Lineª Signalling Motorola Private Lineª enables your customers to effectively manage their communications resources by allowing different groups of radio users to share a common channel, without disrupting each other's conversations. In technical terms, Private Lineª (PL) is a "squelch code" that acts as a Þlter on the communication channel - if PL is being used, only communications with the appropriate PL are heard;... - Page 27 The reverse burst (or turn off code) can be enabled or disabled using the CPS. The P Series CPS allows you to program different transmit and receive PL codes on a per-channel basis. TPL codes within the frequency range 67.0Hz to 254.1Hz (inclusive) are supported, as well as the standard EIA/TIA-603 codes (including 2 non-standard codes).
- Page 28 3.4.3 Mute/Unmute Rules Using the CPS, it is possible to programme the P Series radios with different mute/unmute rules. This allows you to match the radios to your customer's speciÞc requirements. The CPS allows you to select, on a per-channel basis, the rule that the radio uses to open and close its speaker.
- Page 29 You are able to meet these requirements by supplying your customer with P Series radios with "Busy Channel Lockout" enabled on all channels. This will allow the security staff to communicate...
- Page 30 2-18 FEATURES AND BENEFITS If you program the radios for Busy Channel Lockout on Busy Channel, only one member of the security team will be able to transmit at any time. This conÞguration would prevent a member of the security team from transmitting when ANYONE else is transmitting, regardless of whether the transmitter is another security guard or someone from one of the shops.
- Page 31 Detailed Features/Benefits Description 2-19 When relevant activity is discovered on one of the scan list channels, the scanning process is temporarily suspended and the radio is said to be in "Landed Scan Mode". When the scan has "landed" on a channel, and the squelch conditions are met, the speaker unmutes and the radio user hears the conversation on that channel.
- Page 32 2-20 FEATURES AND BENEFITS If activity is discovered on the Priority Channel while the radio has landed on a non-priority channel, the non-priority transmission is dropped and the radio switches to the Priority Channel. This priority override capability ensures that your customer's workforce always hears the most important communications.
- Page 33 You may have customers who need to extend their communications coverage. This may be necessary to communicate over distances beyond the "back-to-back" range of the P Series radios, or to eliminate a communications "blind spot" created by a hill or large building. The communication requirements of such a customer can be fulÞlled by employing a repeater.
- Page 34 2-22 FEATURES AND BENEFITS Now consider the scenario presented in Figure 2-2. Worker A and Worker B are working at a remote location, outside the coverage area of the repeater. While their radios are conÞgured for repeater operation, they are unable to communicate. Worker B Worker A Figure 2-2 Repeater Talkaround...
- Page 35 Detailed Features/Benefits Description 2-23 One of the critical tasks is positioning large concrete bridge supports. This operation requires the precise co-ordination of several teams of workers (eg. crane operators, ground-based labourers, architects and surveyors, etc.). A site manager is responsible for co-ordinating these different teams of people.
- Page 36 3.4.12 The VOX feature built into all P Series radios enables your customer's staff to operate the radio in hands-free mode. This increases the productivity of the workforce by allowing calls to be made and received without the need for staff to have to stop working and put down their tools.
- Page 37 Detailed Features/Benefits Description 2-25 3.4.13 Phone System Compatibility The P080 models are capable of interfacing with telephone systems, provided that the appropriate infrastructure is available (ie. third-party "Telephone Interconnect" interface modules). This integrated communications solution means that your customer's mobile staff don't need to Þnd a wired telephone (or carry an expensive cellular phone) to stay in touch with their ofÞce-based colleagues.Furthermore this telephone capability provides them with a direct communications route to their customers and suppliers.
