FOR YOUR SAFETY
PS11366AENAA01 TH1n - User Guide
10/115 This document is the property of Cassidian and should not be copied or circulated without permission.
Q Shared memory
The following features in this radio share memory: images in gallery, waypoints, and
Java applications. Use of one or more of these features may reduce the memory
available for the remaining features sharing memory.
Some other features may also share memory: contacts, calendar, to-do notes, and
note application. For example, saving many notes may use all of the available memory.
Your radio may display a message that the memory is full when you try to use a shared
memory feature. In this case, delete some of the information or entries stored in the
shared memory features before continuing. Some of the features, such as contacts,
may have a certain amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the
memory shared with other features.
Q Enhancements, batteries, and chargers
Always switch the radio off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Check the model number of any charger before use with this radio. This radio is
intended for use when supplied with power from ACP-12, LCH-12 and CHG-1.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements approved by
CASSIDIAN for use with this particular model. The use of any other types may
invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Important: Enhancements to be used with this radio do not meet the same
durability or water resistance specifications as the radio itself. For example, all
the chargers are only to be used in dry conditions. They should never be used
when damp or wet.
Q Interference filters
When charging your radio with the charger ACP-12, you need to use two
electromagnetic interference filters. Two filters are supplied in the sales package, and
they are also available as separate accessories. See Install the electromagnetic
interference filters on page 13 for how to install the filters to the charger’s power cord.

General information
Q Carrying
You can carry your radio in several ways: in a neck carrying case, pocket clip
holder, shoulder holder, or belt and lapel-mounted holsters. When placed in a
carrying case equipped with a magnetic sensor, the radio’s built-in recognition
mechanism switches automatically to active carrying mode. See Profiles on
page 86) .
Q Access codes
The factory setting for the four-digit phone code is 1234. When the phone
code request is enabled, the code is requested each time the radio is
switched on. See Security settings on page 91.
The factory setting for the five-digit security code is 12345.
To prevent unauthorised use of your radio, change the codes. Keep the new
codes secret and in a safe place separate from your radio. See Security
settings on page 91.
Q Modes of operation
Your radio has two modes of operation: network mode and direct mode. In
addition to the standard direct mode, you have an optional function, the direct
mode repeater mode. In the network mode, the radio operates using the
TETRA network. In the direct mode, the radio operates without the network,
so that the radios communicate directly with each other. In the direct mode,
only some functions of the radio are available. The direct mode repeater
mode extends the range of your team’s communication in extreme conditions
in the direct mode. In the first phase, the TH1n cannot participate in calls, that
is, the TH1n user cannot hear or transmit direct mode calls when it operates
as a direct mode repeater. For more information on the direct mode, see
Direct mode on page 53.

PS11366AENAA01 TH1n - User Guide
12/115 This document is the property of Cassidian and should not be copied or circulated without permission.
Q Transmission barring
When transmission barring is active, the radio does not send any signals to
the network, and only limited network services are available. In the network
mode, the radio can only receive group calls and status and text messages
addressed to talk groups, providing that the radio is registered to the network.
In the direct mode, the radio can receive direct group calls and statuses.
When transmission barring is active, the radio cannot re-register to the
network, for example, if it is switched off and then on again.
The limited network services in the network mode are only available in the
coverage area of the network cell where the radio was last registered. The
radio cannot register to other network cells while transmission barring is
active, and therefore the area of operation may be limited.
When transmission barring is active in the network mode, the radio cannot
send the necessary information to the network about changes in talk groups.
When transmission barring is active, you cannot change the selected group. If
you make any other changes that affect talk groups, such as change the
selected folder, home group, or the scanning priority of a group, you will not
be able to receive further communication from the affected groups. After
transmission barring has been deactivated, the radio can attempt to negotiate
the changes with the network.
If you start to make a
red key call or an emergency call to an emergency
number programmed into your radio when transmission barring is active, the
radio automatically deactivates transmission barring and attempts to make
the call. See Red key calls and emergency calls in direct mode on page 58.
Note: If you start to make a red key call or an emergency call when
transmission barring is active, transmission barring will be deactivated, and
you should consider exiting the area where you wanted transmission to be
barred.

radio may send a notification message to the network about the activation.
is displayed if the message does not need to be sent or message sending
failed, and is displayed if the message has been sent.
Q Network selection
In addition to your predefined home network, you may be able to select other
networks in which your radio can operate (network service), for example, if
you are not in the coverage area of your home network. The network can be
changed automatically or manually; see Network selection on page 88.
Some services are network dependent, so the availability of services may
change when the network is changed. In addition, the selected folder,
selected group, home group, or the availability of groups may change when
the network is changed.
Q Using your radio in wet and damp conditions
• You can use this radio in the rain, but do not submerge it in water.
• If the radio or the system connector has been exposed to salt water, wash it
immediately with freshwater to avoid corrosion. The radio must be carefully wiped
dry.
• Before opening the back cover, dry the radio to prevent water from reaching the
interior of the radio. The battery is not water resistant.
• Never charge the radio when the bottom connector is wet or damp.
• Never use a damp radio with enhancements that have an electrical function (such as
a desk stand or car kit).
Note: Make sure the interior of your radio and the back cover seals are dry,
clean, and free of any foreign objects. Foreign objects may damage the seals
against water.

Q Man down alarm
If the Man down alarm is set in your radio, a user alert is activated when you have not
moved the radio from its position or it is in the horizontal position. Your user organisation
decides the set of the actions that triggers the Man down alarm (for example, the
immobility or horizontal position, or both of them). It also decides the type of the alert
used, for example a vibration alert, an alert tone or the blinking display. See Man down
alarm on page 89.
If the user alert is not switched off within the time predefined by your user organisation,
an emergency alarm is activated. Your user organisation decides the type of the
emergency alarm used, for example, an emergency call, a man down status message or
sending the location data.
Q Remote SDS control
When the remote short data service (SDS) control is activated in your radio, your radio
can be controlled over the air with an SDS message. Your organisation defines the
features that can be controlled remotely. See Remote SDS control on page 89.
