■Position data transmission
When the optional cable (OPC-966) and a GPS receiver is
connected to the transceiver, the position (longitude and lati-
tude) data can be transmitted automatically.
Ask your dealer or system operator for connection details.
The position data is transmitted when;
• Status 24 message is received
*When the status 24 message, GPS request, is received.
• Fully automatic
When automatic position transmission is enabled, send
the position data according to ‘Time Marker’ and ‘Interval
Timer’ settings.
• PTT is released
When ‘Send with Logoff’ is enabled.
- Set the ‘Log-In/Off’ item as ‘L-OFF.’
• After sending a status message
When ‘Send with Status’ is enabled.
• After sending an SDM
When ‘Send with SDM’ is enabled.
• After sending status 22 (Emergency)

■Printer connection
When the optional cable is connected to the transceiver, a
printer can be connected to print out the received SDM con-
tent and the ID of the station who sent the message.
Ask your dealer or system operator for connection details.
■BIIS ANI
The own ID can be transmitted each time the PTT is pushed
(log-in) or released (log-off) during individual or group call
communications.
By receiving the ANI, the communication log can be re-
corded when using a PC dispatch application.
In addition, when using the ANI with log-in, the PTT side
tone function can be used to inform you that the ID is sent
and voice communication can be performed.
■Transmitting an Emergency call
When [Emergency] (described in the instruction manual) is
pushed and held for the specified time period, the emergency
signal (Status 22) is transmitted once or repeatedly on the
emergency channel. A repeat emergency signal is automati-
cally transmitted until it receives the acknowledgement signal.
When no emergency channel is specified, the signal is trans-
mitted on the previously selected channel.
If you want to cancel the emergency call, push and hold the
key again before transmitting the call.
The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep emis-
sion, and the LCD indication depending on the pre-setting.
The transceiver can also be programmed to keep the micro-
phone open during an emergency call, allowing monitoring of
the situation.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to set an emergency
channel individually to provide the certain emergency call
operation.

13
2BIIS 1200 OPERATION
■Man Down Emergency Call
This function requires the optional UT-124R man down unit
and can be performed in conventional mode.
The man down emergency call function transmits the emer-
gency signal (Status 22) automatically when the transceiver
has been left in a horizontal position for the specified time
period.
After the emergency call, the transceiver performs transmis-
sion and reception alternately with receiving a signal and
emitting audio.
When the emergency reset signal is received, the function is
cancelled.
■BIIS indication
The following indications are available for the BIIS operation
on a BIIS channel.
CONNECT : Individual/group call is successful.
OK : Message (status or SDM) transmission is suc-
cessful.
FAILED : No answer back is received.
WAIT : Appears during retry of the call (2nd call).
CLR DOWN : End the communication.
BUSY : Operating channel is in the busy condition.
■Stun function
When the specified ID, set as a killer ID, is received, the stun
function is activated.
When the killer ID is received, the transceiver switches to
the password required condition. Entering of the password
via the keypad is necessary to operate the transceiver again
in this case.
■Priority A channel selection
When one of the following operations is performed, the
transceiver selects the Priority A channel automatically.
Priority A is selected when;
• Clear down signal is received/transmitted
- Set the ‘Move to PrioA CH’ item as ‘Clear down.’
• Turning the power ON
The Priority A channel is selected each time the trans-
ceiver power is turned ON.
• Status call
The Priority A channel is selected when transmitting a
status call.
- Enable the ‘Send Status on PrioA CH’ item in the MSK
configuration.

■MDC 1200 system operation
The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiver’s
capabilities. It allows PTT ID, Selective Calling (SelCall), Call
Alert, Radio Check, Stun, Revive, Status, Messaging and
Emergency signaling.
An additional feature of MDC 1200 system found in Icom
transceivers is called aliasing. Each transceiver on the sys-
tem has a unique ID number. Aliasing allows the substitution
of an alphanumeric name for this ID number. For transmit,
you can use this alias to select a transceiver to call. For re-
ceive, the alias of the calling station is displayed instead of
the ID.
Please note that your dealer has set one of the programma-
ble keys ([EMR],[Side1], [Side2], [Side3], [P0], [P1], [P2]
and [P3] ) for MDC 1200 system operation.
NOTE: During MDC 1200 system operation, BIIS 1200
and IDAS operations are not available.
