Term Explanation
Individual Call
A half-duplex or full-duplex call
initiated by an individual user to
another individual user.
Group Call A half-duplex call initiated by an
individual user to a group.
Half-duplex
Half-duplex communication is
also called “two-way alternate
communication”. It indicates
the communication is provided
in both directions, but only one
direction at a time, that is, only
one party is allowed to transmit
or receive at a time.
Full-duplex
Fu ll-du ple x co mmu nic ati on
is a l s o cal l e d “f ull-dupl e x
synchronous communication”.
It indicates the communication
is allowed in both directions
simultaneously, that is, both
parties can transmit and receive
at the same time.

Troubleshooting
Phenomenon Analysis Solution
Terminals cannot be powered on. The battery power gets too low to supply the terminal. Charge for the battery.
Ne two r k re gis t rat ion f ail s or
network can not be found.
The terminal is operating in DMO. Switch to TMO mode.
The terminal gets out of the network coverage (in TMO). Check the signal strength. Make sure the terminal is within the
network coverage.
The terminal is not granted network access. Contact the network operator for the terminal authorization.
Calls cannot be initiated.
The terminal or the called party is not within the network
coverage.
Check the signal strength. Make sure the terminal is within the
network coverage.
The terminal operates in an improper mode. Check the operation mode. Make sure the terminal works in the
right mode.
A group call can not be initiated or
received.
The terminal is not a member of the group. Check whether the terminal is a member of the group. If not, contact
your dealer to add the terminal to the group.
The terminal is not authorized to access the target group. Contact the network operator for the terminal authorization.

The channel resources are allocated to other services due to
overloaded network. Wait until the channel becomes available and try again.
Abnormal disconnection occurs
during a call.
The terminal gets out of the network coverage (in TMO). Check the signal strength. Make sure the terminal is within the
network coverage.
The terminal operates at an unfavorable position where
communication may be blocked by high buildings or frustrated
in the underground areas (in DMO).
Move to an open and flat area, and restart the terminal.
As for the same status message
ID, the content displayed at the
receiving party is different from
that of the sending party.

Appendix
SSI&TSI Dialing Rules
In the TETRA system, subscribers are distinguished
by different identities. Each subscriber is assigned with
a unique short subscriber identity (SSI), which serves
a part of the TETRA subscriber identity (TSI). And TSI
is generally composed in this way: Mobile Country
Code (MCC) + Mobile Network Code (MNC) + SSI. To
initiate an individual call, please dial the SSI or TSI in
compliance with the rules below.
●SSI Dialing
Make sure there are not more than 8 digits.
●TSI Dialing
●MNC+SSI:
1) Input the MNC as it is;
2) SSI must be 8 digits long. Add 0 before the
first digit of SSI which is shorter than 8 digits.
For example, when MNC is 20 and SSI is
504, you need to input 2000000504.
●MCC+MNC+SSI:
1) MCC must contain 3 digits. Add 0 before
the first digit of MCC which is shorter than 3
digits;
2) MNC must contain 4 or 5 digits. When the
MNC is shorter than 4 digits, add 0 before
its first digit; when it is 5 digits long, use it
directly;
3) SSI must be 8 digits long. Add 0 before the
first digit of SSI which is shorter than 8 digits.
Fo r e xam p le, whe n M CC is 460, MN C
is 20 and SSI is 504, you need to input
460002000000504.
