LC Display
All alphanumeric readouts are presented by a LC display with background lighting.
Status LEDs
Carrier Display (Squelch)
The carrier display LED can be controlled by voice (2-wire connection) or via squelch input
(using the radio set). If the light is on, the radio circuit is occupied, that is, a carrier signal
(carrier is keyed) is present.
PTT Display (Push-to-Talk)
The PTT display LED is on, if the transmitter is keyed. Keying of the transmitter is achieved
by pressing the PTT button during telephony or by sending a call.
Loudspeaker Display (Incoming Call)
The loudspeaker display LED is on, if the loudspeaker or the earphone capsule in the
handpiece are switched on.

All AF in/outputs are equipped with transformers
and, hence, potential-free. PIN 5 is for supply
(+12V) of external devices (LIM-AC, FT634C).
Attention: Do not use PIN 5 to supply a radio
set. 200 mA output current is not sufficient.
There are two sockets for connecting a headset.
One is for connecting the headset, the other
for the use of an external PTT button (e.g. foot
switch)
The digital connections can be configured as
inputs or outputs, respectively. Usually, these are
used as outputs for remote channel select.
All of the schemes show the sockets as viewed from the rear of the Major.

additional function of the button is exercised upon
long pressing.
The digits of register 174 have the following
functions:
1. digit = 2 --> function 2 - transmit call
2. digit = 2 --> enter short call
3. digit = F --> awaiting input
Here are the steps that are necessary to check
if the programming in register 174 is suitable for
short call selection.
Configuration of the Software
Programming Short Call
In the following a programming example of the
Major‘s registers is shown. The procedure is
always the same. Depending on the desired
effects, however, the programming of several
registers can be necessary.
This example illustrates the programming of short
call 1 in register 001 with the tone sequence
12345.
The line „Code“ shows the present programming
of the register. The displayed value can be
overwritten with the new value.
With button F3 the menu can be quit any time
discarding the changes.
With button F4 the displayed value is
programmed.
As every button of the Major 4a/5a is freely
programmable, the registers 174 and 175 for the
Z-button have to be programmed with the right
values. As this already is the case in the factroy
defaults, this step is not necessary.
Hence, register 174 (function Z-button, short
press) usually is programmed with 22F01 and
register 175 (function Z-button, long press) with
00000. The first 0 in register 175 defines that no

Changing the Assignment of Button Functions
All buttons of the Major 4a/5a are freely
programmable. The numeric keys, the * and #
keys as well as the function buttons for volume
(only Major 5a), loudspeaker, short call, call and
PTT are programmed ex factory for the respective
tasks.
Every button can be assigned two different
functions. One is achieved by pressing the button
shortly and the other by pressing it for a longer
time.
If the button is pressed for less than a second,
the function programmed for „short press“ is
executed. For longer pressing the function
programmed for „long press“ is executed. If no
function is programmed for long press, the „short
press“ function is executed immediately.
Programming of the button‘s functions is done in
registers 130-179. For every button 2 registers
are reserv ed, the first onie for short press, the
second one for long press (see Table of Registers,
registers 130-179). Every register contains 8
digits. For details on all function see section
Programmable Functions.
The function of the LEDs in buttons F1 to F4 is
defined in registers 180-183.
Here‘s an example for programming button 1.
Programming „short press“:
1. digit 7 = function --> number input
2. digit 1 = number input --> new input
3. digit 1 = value 1 (0...F possible)
4.-8. digit 0 = not regarded
Ex factory, no function is programmed for long
press of button 1. As an example, we are
programming th button to set the volume to “1“.

Customizing the Call Input
In reg. 010 you can define the variable digits for
selective call input.
If reg. 010 is FFFFF000, all 5 digits must be
entered via the keypad. If digits 1-3 should be
fixed and only digits 4+5 are to be entered,
015FF000 must be programmed.
The group call input is configured accordingly
in reg. 012.

Transmit/Receive SDS
Transmit SDS
The Major can send 10 different SDS messages
with lengths of up to 24 characters, each. These
messages are transmitted to the currently
displayed group call number or selective call
number. To achieve this, a suitable button must
be programmed with the respective function
(e.g. 253F0000, see section Programmable
Functions).
In order to program your customized SDS texts,
the Major 4a/5a must be connected to a PC using
a RS232 connection cable. If your PC does not
have a real COM port (9-pin SUB-D socket) a
USB-to-COM adapter can be used.
In order to read-out the texts you have to enter
the following 6 characters into your terminal
program:
Ctrl-B + “SDS?“ + Ctrl-C
To program the texts you have to enter the
following 30 characters:
Strg-B + “SDSxyyy...y“ + Strg-C,
where x is the SDS number (0-9), the y‘s are the
characters of the text (24 in total).
Receive SDS
Received SDS messages are stored in the ID-
code memory. Here, a single SDS consists of
max. 14 characters for the originator‘s name
and max. 2x14 characters text. The display
alternatingly switches through the name and the
2 text lines. As in the Kenwood radios, no alias is
available, the originator‘s call ID is displayed.
For configuration of SDS display and ID-code
see reg. 087.
For software version 3.05 and newer up to 4
channels can be defined as analog channels.
However, the functions are limited to the most
essential ones (e.g. 5-tone encoder/decoder and
PTT). In contrast to the digital channels, a call
is transmitted using the call button, like in the
standard software of Major 4a/5a.
The following registers are used for
configuration:
Reg. 013: 5-tone encoder
Reg. 067: channel numbers of the analog
channels
Reg.184/185: function of the call button in analog
mode
ACK Request
For SW version 3.06 an newer the acknowledge
(ACK) request is supported for the more recent
NEXEDGE radios (SW version 4.40.00 and
newer), too. To send ACK requests with the PTT,
digit 8 in reg.050 must be programmed to 1.
Default Group Call (since V3.06)
It is now possible to define a standard group call,
to which the display is reset after a certain idle
time. Thus, your standard group does not have
to be entered, but is usually available just by
pressing the red PTT button (see Reg. 060).
