P110 Portable Radios Optional Enhancements
Signalling Enhancements
Quik-Call II Decoding
Call Alert
Call Alert works similarly to tone-only pagers. When a Call
Alert (page) is received, a series of 4 beep decode tones
are heard while the LED flashes yellow. The LED continues
flashing yellow and alert tone continues until the call alert is
acknowledged by the radio. If you transmit by pushing the
PTT button or change the rotary channel selector while a
Call Alert signal is in progress, the LED stops flashing and
the Call Alert tone is disabled.
Voice Selective Call
This feature operates like a standard pager providing a one-
time voice message. When a Voice Selective Call is
received by the radio, a one-time 2 beep decode tone is
heard while the LED flashes yellow. The radio unmutes and
the voice message is heard. The LED continues flashing
yellow while the voice message is heard. The Voice Selec-
tive Call feature does not require any action to acknowledge
the message and after the transmission is completed, the
radio returns to normal operation.
MDC-1200 Encoding
PTT ID
When on a channel with the PTT ID feature, the radio trans-
mits an identification code (unit ID) to the base station, indi-
cating which portable is in operation. This code is sent
whenever the PTT button is pressed. A sidetone is heard as
the ID is being transmitted; when the tone ends, start your
voice message in the standard manner. The LED glows red
during the time that the ID is sent out.
Signalling and Channel Scan
Signalling and channel scan are compatible in the P110
radio. However, during scan operation, a Voice Selective
Call on a particular channel could be missed since the radio
may not be checking that channel when the Voice Selective
Call is being sent.
It is recommended that priority scan be selected and the sig-
nalling channel be designated the priority channel to improve
the likelihood that the Voice Selective Call is received.
