Section 4 – Emergency
• Transmit Interrupt:
– Voice Interrupt - Enables a radio partied to a call to interrupt (de-key) a voice transmission from
another radio and initiate its own voice transmission within the same call.
– Remote Voice De-key - Enables a (supervisor) radio to interrupt (de-key) a voice transmission from
another radio and clear down the call irrespective of whether it is partied to the call or not.
– Emergency Voice Interrupt - Enables a radio to interrupt (de-key) a voice transmission from
another radio, clear down the call and initiate its own emergency signalling irrespective of whether it
is partied to the original call or not.
– Data over Voice Interrupt - Enables a 3rd party data application to interrupt (de-key) a voice
transmission from another radio and initiate its own data transmission irrespective of whether it is
partied to the original call or not.
• Dynamic Mixed Mode (DMM) - Allows MOTOTRBO radios in digital mode, MOTOTRBO radios in
analogue mode and legacy analogue radios to key up on the same MOTOTRBO repeater channel. Also,
supports analogue consoles connected via the MOTOTRBO repeater 4-wire interface.
• Improved Ergonomics:
– Extended Emergency Press - Ability to extend the duration of the emergency activation button
press.
– One Touch Access (Mobile) - Enables a mobile radio to switch to a pre-configured channel with the
press of a button.
– Scan Off Hook Interaction with Talkback Disabled - Upon taking the microphone Off-Hook while
receiving, a mobile will not immediately revert to the TX designated channel. It will instead remain on
the landed channel and only revert to the TX designated channel when the PTT is pressed.
• Over the Air Activity Logging - Enables a 3rd party application to monitor over air activity excluding
voice / data payload using a mobile radio. The mobile radio forwards all over the air activity (regardless of
call destination) via XCMP to the attached PC, option board or non-PC peripheral.
• RDAC Multiple System Support – Ability for the RDAC application to support up to 8 radio systems
(chargeable feature).
• General Enhancements:
– Additional Emergency Systems – Ability for the radio to support up to 32 Digital Emergency
Systems and up to 32 Capacity Plus Emergency Systems.
– Independent Scan Hang Times for Analogue and Digital Channels – Allows scan hang times to
be independently configured (via CPS) for analogue and digital channels.
– Configurable RSSI Threshold - Allows RSSI threshold above which a channel is considered to be
busy to be configured (via CPS) on a per channel basis.
• Capacity Plus Enhancements:
– Join Late Call - If all channels are busy when a radio comes into the coverage area (or is powered
up), the radio will scan all channels and join its highest priority call by late entry (previously late entry
only worked if there was an idle rest channel).
– Join Emergency Call - The start of an emergency call is announced over all busy channels, thereby
enabling radios already busy in calls to immediately transfer to the emergency call (if required).
– Rest Channel Selection – Where several candidate channels of equal preference are available,
Rest Channel selection is performed in a ‘Round Robin’ manner to distribute the load equally among
the different repeaters in a system.

Voice Interrupt Programming Requirements
Interrupting radio:
If a user presses the PTT to interrupt a voice transmission, the radio will either:
• Successfully interrupt the voice transmission and commence its own voice transmission (note:
if unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times before giving up).
• Or, sound a bonk which means the interrupt failed.
Interrupted radio:
The radio being interrupted will sound a talk prohibit tone (if provisioned)
indicating that the user should release the PTT.
Other radio users partied to the call:
All other radios partied to the call will sound an optional channel free tone (if
provisioned) followed by the new voice transmission from the interrupting
radio.
Note: if two or more radios invoke Voice Interrupt simultaneously, the
interrupt fails due to a signaling collision, therefore:
Minimize the number of radios with Voice Interrupt enabled in a group.
Avoid using Voice Interrupt unless truly necessary.
Provide guidelines for acceptable use of Voice Interrupt.
Train users to allow short periods of time before responding to transmitting radio users.
Interrupting radio:
If a user presses the Remote Voice De-key button to de-key a
transmission and clear down the active call, the radio will either:
• Successfully end the current call and sound a positive indication tone (note: if
unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times before giving up).
• Or, sound a negative indication tone which means the Remote Voice De-key failed
(due to data transmission on the channel or uninterruptible voice).
Interrupted radio:
The radio being interrupted will sound a talk prohibit tone (if provisioned)
indicating that the user should release the PTT.
• If the radio was transmitting a silent emergency or remote monitor, there will be no
audible indication.
Interrupting radio:
If a user presses the Emergency button to interrupt a voice
transmission, the radio will either:
• Successfully Interrupt the voice transmission and initiate an emergency alarm
(note: if unsuccessful at first, the radio will automatically re-try several times
before giving up).
• Or sound the emergency tone which means the Emergency Voice Interrupt
failed (in which case the radio attempts to send the emergency alarm impolitely
/ politely based on CPS configuration).
Interrupted radio:
The radio being interrupted radio will sound a Talk Prohibit Tone (if
provisioned) indicating that the user should release the PTT.
Other radios partied to the call:
All other radios partied to the original call will sound an optional
channel free tone (if provisioned).
The radio’s option board and external accessory are also able to
invoke a transmit interrupt and begin a new voice transmission
on the channel.
• A repeater feature

• Analogue Radio:
– Radio user will hear channel busy tone if PTT asserted on analogue radio
configured for polite operation (i.e. Admit Criteria set to “Correct PL”)
while digital call still in progress on either slot.
– If radio configured to scan, there may be audio truncation at beginning of
new incoming call.
• Digital Radio:
– Radio user will hear channel busy tone if PTT asserted on digital radio
configured for polite operation (i.e. Admit Criteria set to “Channel free”)
while analogue call still in progress on channel.
– If radio configured to scan, there may be audio truncation at beginning of
new incoming call.
• Console on Repeater 4-Wire Interface:
– Console user will hear channel busy tone if PTT or Repeater knockdown
asserted on repeater 4-wire interface while digital call still in progress on
either slot.
Repeater Description
Configuration
Channel Add and configure a “Dynamic Mixed Mode” type of channel.
Repeater Type Configure as “Single Site”. Dynamic Mixed Mode does not
support “IP Site Master” and “IP Site Peer” configurations.
RX Squelch, TX Configure as “TPL” or “DPL” for non-community repeater
Squelch operation (received audio will be repeated).
Analog Hang Time This field defines the duration of the analog scan hang timer. The timer
starts at the end of the analog call hang time and keeps the radio on the
analog channel while the timer is running.
It is recommended that the Analog Hang Time be set to 0 in order that
radios can resume scanning immediately an analog call ends.
Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a radios or above.
Digital Hang Time This field defines the duration of the digital scan hang timer. The timer
starts at the beginning of the digital call hang time and keeps the radio
on the digital channel while the timer is running.
At the end of a digital call the repeater reserves a DMM channel for
digital calls until the end of SIT + 1 sec. Since analog calls are not
permitted until SIT + 1 sec, it is recommended that the Digital Hang Time
be set to SIT + 1 sec.
Note: This field can only be programmed for R1.6a radios or above.

Note: ‘Emergency On’ can also be triggered by connecting pin 23 on the rear accessory connector to
ground (note: this is not dependent on the above CPS provisioned short / long press durations). If the radio
is switched off, it will power up first before handling the ‘Emergency On’ operation.
Notes:
1.All radios can receive emergency calls.
2.Only high-tier (display) radios can receive emergency alarms.
Emergency Overview
Emergency Alarm
Note: If ‘Silent’ or ‘Silent w/ Voice’ Alarm Type selected, radio remains in (silent) emergency
mode when acknowledgement received (or when radio gives up transmitting emergency
alarms). To exit emergency mode, user needs to press PTT or ‘Emergency Off’ button.
• If radio receives an emergency alarm addressed either to its selected ‘Contact Name’ or a digital group in its selected ‘RX
Group List’’:
• Where ‘Emergency Alarm Indication’ option selected, radio provides an audio / visual indication and enters
emergency mode.
• Where ‘Emergency Alarm Ack’ option selected, radio also transmits back an acknowledgement.
Notes:
1. A single radio (typically a central control radio) must have the ‘Emergency Alarm Ack’ option selected.
2. While emergency mode in hidden state, radio behaviour as per non-emergency mode and emergency alarm list hidden,
however emergency icon displayed and LED flashes red.

• Additional behaviors for high tier (display) radios while in emergency mode:
• If radio qualifies incoming emergency voice and ‘Emergency Call Indication’ option
selected, radio provides a visual emergency call indication.
• For high tier (display) radios where ‘Emergency Alarm Indication’ option not selected and all
low tier (non-display) radios:
• Radio ignores incoming emergency alarms and does not enter emergency mode.
• If PTT pressed, radio transmits non-emergency voice in the normal (non-emergency)
manner.
• All incoming voice (including emergency voice) is qualified in the normal (non-
emergency) manner.

Remote Monitor
Capacity Plus
Transmit Interrupt
GPS Tracking
• Before a radio can initiate a ‘remote monitor’, it must be taken out of emergency mode, or its
emergency mode switched to the hidden state.
• Additionally, the start of an emergency call is announced over all busy channels, thereby
enabling radios already busy in calls to immediately transfer to the emergency call (if
required).
• EVI allows a radio to de-key a transmitting radio’s voice transmission, clear down an active
call and initiate a new Emergency Alarm / Call transmission on the channel.
• If TX Interrupt option (in Digital Emergency System) is enabled by the CPS, EVI is
automatically invoked if the user presses the emergency button while an interruptible voice
transmission present on the channel.
• The interrupting radio de-keys the current voice transmission and clears down the active call.
• The interrupting radio then initiates an Emergency Alarm, Emergency Alarm with Call or
Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow.
Notes:
1. The interrupting radio may or may not be partied to the original call.
2. The interrupted radio may not necessarily be a recipient of the resulting Emergency Alarm /
Call.
