Direct Mode Operation (DMO) is a feature that allows for off-network communication. With DMO, the
message sent off the network will bounce once from a neaby Kepler to the next, creating a mesh-network
with nearby users.
With the Kepler you can also initiate emergency calls if you are in an emergency or distress situation. With
AINA Small Talk as your PTT application, pressing the emergency button will alert all the users in your
company and automatically open your microphone for them to listen in.
Press the up or down arrow button to control the device’s volume. The Kepler’s display will indicate at which
volume level you are.
If your administrator has enabled DMO for your device, you will see this on your device’s home screen as a
talk group.
Emergency call. Press the emergency button for 3 seconds to activate or cancel an emergency call. After
activating the emergency call by pressing the button, you will see a 10 second timer on the screen before the

DMO Push-to-Talk. Press the assigned PTT1 or PTT2 button and keep it pressed to contact nearby
