Guided Tour
NOTE:Many of the ICP9000 Navigator functions must be initially set-up and configured using the
GAI-Tronics CARD Suite software application. Read this manual after the MCU is configured for your
application (options, etc.).
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Overview and Layout
The ICP9000 Navigator graphical user interface, or GUI, is flexible, easy to use and allows fast, accurate
selections by using a touch screen, a wand, or the standard computer mouse or track ball.
The main screen desktop, with many of the features of the console activated, is arranged as shown in the
diagram below, but the layout can be customized per operator and stored in individual dispatcher
profiles. Profiles are recalled through a user logon procedure.
Figure 1.

Guided Tour ICP9000 Navigator Series Console Operator’s Manual
04/15 12
Left- and Right-Hand Configuration
The Navigator can be configured for left- or right-hand configuration to allow the most convenient set-up
for each operator. The reference to left or right-hand is related to the location of the main TRANSMIT
button. In the following sections, reference to the left or right side of the GUI are made. It is assumed
from this point on that the GUI is configured for left-hand operation with the main TRANSMIT button
located on the left of the GUI. If the operator configures the GUI for right-hand TRANSMIT operation,
the references to left and right should be reversed.
The Navigator Toolbar
The Navigator includes a toolbar that can be seen as a vertical column of buttons located on the upper
left side of the GUI. These buttons activate and deactivate additional modes of operation for the
Navigator. For example, FREQUENCY and PHONE are toolbar buttons that open display windows with
additional selectable buttons applicable to that function. Each of the applicable Navigator toolbar
buttons is explained in this manual. Some of the toolbar buttons are for optional features that must either
be configured through the CARD Suite software application, or purchased separately as options. The
toolbar can also be customized for each operator to rearrange the buttons, remove unused buttons, or to
restrict access to certain features.
Visible Indicators
The Navigator is equipped with many visual indicators that are associated with a button, a function or a
status. Indicators can be either the entire button or simply the border of a button. The placement of each
indicator intuitively associates the indicator with the proper function or status. The function of each
indicator is discussed in the “Standard Feature Operation” section of this manual. It is important that the
operator be familiar with each indicator, its function and its effect on the operation of the console in both
the active and inactive state.
Audible Indicators
There is an audible indicator that indicates the operator has attempted to perform a function or has
pressed a button that is prohibited in the current mode of operation, or is not available. To hear this error
beep while in normal operation, press the SCROLL Up/Down button to the right of the information
window repeatedly until the error beep sounds. Whenever this beep sounds, it indicates that the operator
attempted to perform some function that the console would not allow. The operator should examine the
console and determine why the beep was generated and become familiar with the proper operation of
each button for future use.
There is also a tone generated when the channel volume is changed only when the channel is not
receiving audio. This volume beep is generated to allow the operator to adjust the channel volume to a
relative setting and is indicative of the level of receive audio.
The operator may hear other tones known as side tone that do not indicate any particular function, but
allows the operator to hear tones that are being transmitted by the console or know that digital signaling
is being transmitted. These side tones are generated during paging, alert tone and digital signaling
generation.

The Information Window
An important feature of the Navigator desktop is the information window located in the central area of
the desktop. At the top of the information window is the status line, which displays information for the
selected channel. Below the status line is information that is relevant to the functions that are taking
place at the time. To the side of the information window are scroll buttons with up and down arrows and
the DEL button. The arrow buttons are used to move through lists. The DEL is used to clear selections
and remove decoded DTMF and signaling data from the window.
VU Meter
The VU meter appears between the select and unselect volume sliders to the right of the information
window. The VU provides an indication of the signal level for transmitted audio during a transmission
or intercom, and the signal level of the selected channel receive audio during receive mode. The VU
meter should not be used as a measurement device as it is not calibrated. It provides a reference for the
operator to know the proper audio is being transmitted or received.
While becoming familiar with the console, the operator should watch the VU for proper and consistent
deflection during voice transmissions to ensure that the field units are receiving audible and intelligible
audio. If the operator sits too close to the microphone and the VU is deflected fully, the audio heard by
the field units may be distorted and unintelligible. Likewise, if the operator is not close enough to the
microphone and there is little deflection of the VU meter, the field units may find it difficult to hear the
operator over the background noise in the dispatch area. The sensitivity of the microphone can be
adjusted for different (loud versus quiet) voice types. Refer to the “Diagnostics” section on page 67 for
information on adjustment of the microphone sensitivity.
Clock and Calendar
The clock located above the GAI-Tronics logo provides the current PC time. Passing the pointer or
touching the clock provides a momentary pop-up indicating the calendar. The clock and format are set
through the Windows®operating system. If a network clock source is available to synchronize the clock
to a standard time, ask the system supervisor to configure the PC to take advantage of this feature.

Using Audio Accessories
Certain audio accessories can be connected to the console for use by the operator. These accessories
include a desk microphone, a gooseneck microphone, a handset and a footswitch. It is important to
understand that the transmit feature of these accessories emulates the main TRANSMIT button, and the
MONITOR button of these accessories emulates the main MONITOR button. The same restrictions and
applications of these accessory buttons apply as described in the “Standard Feature Operation” section of
this manual. Whenever the main TRANSMIT button is referenced in the following sections, it is
understood that the operator could use the transmit button of an attached accessory instead. This same
understanding also applies to the MONITOR button.
Auto-Repeat Buttons
Certain buttons on the console are designed to auto-repeat similarly to that of a computer keyboard.
When these buttons are pressed and held, after about a 1-second delay, the button begins to auto-repeat at
about two presses per second. When the key is released, the auto-repeat ceases. The auto-repeat keys
include the channel VOLUME Up/Down and the SCROLL Up/Down.

Navigator Configuration
Customizing the Navigator Desktop
The Navigator offers great flexibility in customizing the layout to suit each operator. Customization
allows the following:
The boarder of each channel can be color-coded per operator to group similar services.
The channels can be placed in the channel area above the information window in any position or
order per operator to ease use and to reduce eye fatigue.
The individual channel selection button labels and their associated programmable button labels are
configurable.
The four alert tone button labels are configurable.
The toolbar buttons can be reordered or even removed per operator.
The assignment and order of available paging aliases per operator.
Access to certain features can be restricted by removing menu bar items per operator.
The application can be configured per operator to prevent exiting the Navigator and to restrict access
to other windows programs and display settings.
Administrator Log On
When starting the application for the first time, a logon screen appears. Enter the user name and

Setup - Operator Setup
The Operator Setup form contains two tabbed sections, Operator Options and One-Touch Options. The
Operator Options tab is divided into four sections, Operator Options, Tool Options, Channel and Control
Selection, and is used to configure the operator characteristics for an individual operator profile. The
One Touch Options tab defines the aliases, and the order of the aliases assigned to an individual
operator’s profile.
When either tabbed window is active, the window always displays the SAVE, DELETE,EXIT,PREVIOUS, and
NEXT buttons. The buttons represent functions that are related to the operator profile, not the individual
options displayed in the tabbed window.
The name of the current operator
profile is displayed in the status bar
at the bottom of the window.
To create a Setup file for another
operator, press the NEXT button.
When all operator parameters are
configured, press the SAVE button to
save current operator configurations
before pressing the EXIT button to
close the form.
The DELETE button will remove the
current operator's profile from the
system. The NEXT and PREVIOUS
buttons are used to navigate already-
defined operator profiles.
NOTE: Allowing the pointer to
hover over a selected option will
initiate its tool tip.
Operator Options
Each operator is assigned a unique
user name and password. When
defining the operator profile, the
password must be entered twice to
ensure accuracy of the assigned
password.
The Operator Options portion of the
form enables the user to select
which options are made available to
each individual operator.

each individual operator. The factory default setting displays all available buttons.
Channel Selection
The Channel Selection section determines which channels are displayed in the main window for each
individual operator.

The Control portion has four different modes of operation that determine what action the display takes
after a button press.
1. Display Always On - the operator will be unable to close the Control form.
2. Push On/Off - using the Control tool options button, the operator has the ability to display the
Control form and close the form.
3. Auto Extinguish - the Control form is closed five seconds after a control button is pressed.
4. Inactivity On/Off - Control form is automatically closed if a control button has not been selected
within a pre-programmed amount of time set by the timeout.
