Figure 2: Trunked Mode Operation
2.3
Direct Mode Operation
Direct Mode Operation (DMO) is a mode of simplex operation where radios communicate directly
without the need of a network.
NOTE: For those who use DMO mode, you are recommended to apply DMO SCK for data
confidentiality.
Figure 3: Direct Mode Operation
2.4
DMO Gateway and Repeater Communication
The radio allows communicating in Direct Mode Operation (DMO) with a Trunked Mode Operation
(TMO) group. This communication occurs through Interoperability (IOP) certified gateways.
A DMO repeater retransmits information received from one DMO radio to other DMO radios.
Retransmission occurs over the DMO air interface.
For each DMO talkgroup, the radio allows operating in one of the following modes:
MN004527A01-AH
Chapter 2 : Services and Features
13

Radio to radio only
The radio initiates communication only on a talkgroup directly and not through a gateway or
repeater.
Auto gateway
The radio can initiate communication on the selected talkgroup directly with another radio. The
radio can also initiate communication through any available gateway that is detected as present.
Repeater
The talkgroup links to a DMO repeater.
Specific gateway and repeater
The radio uses only the gateway with the specified gateway address for the talkgroup and/or a
DMO repeater.
Automatic gateway and repeater
The radio uses the first available gateway for a talkgroup and/or a DMO repeater.
All outgoing communication is placed through the gateway if the following conditions occur:
• Either a specific gateway or auto gateway mode is chosen
• A suitable gateway is found
The radio attempts to set up communication directly if the following conditions occur:
• Communication setup through the gateway fails
• A suitable gateway is not found
When operating on a gateway and/or repeater, the radio indicates the communication mode.
2.4.1
Communication through Repeaters
Radios that are out of range and cannot communicate directly with each other in Direct Mode
Operation (DMO) can do it through the repeater. The repeater is a radio that repeats all communication
on a chosen channel, and as a result increases radios DMO range.
Figure 4: Communication through Repeaters
DMODMO
When the radio connects to a repeater, it plays a tone, displays the Repeater available message,
and shows an appropriate icon. When the radio loses connection with the repeater, it plays a tone,
displays the Repeater not available message, and the repeater icon is blinking.
MN004527A01-AH
Chapter 2 : Services and Features
14

2.4.2
Communication Through Gateways
Gateway provides connectivity between radios operating in Direct Mode Operation (DMO) and the
TETRA network, so that the DMO radios can communicate with the Trunked Mode Operation (TMO)
radios.
Figure 5: Communication Through Gateways

TMO
Radio behavior when radio connects to a gateway:
• A tone is sound.
•Gateway available message is displayed.
• An appropriate icon is shown.
Radio behavior when radio loses connection with the gateway:
• A tone is sound.
•Gateway not available message is displayed.
• The gateway icon is blinking.
2.4.3
Gateway and Repeater Synchronization
To communicate using gateways or repeaters, the radio requires synchronization with a gateway or a
repeater.
A gateway or a repeater sends presence signals to radios. If a radio receives presence signals, it stays
synchronized with the gateway or the repeater which sends the signals. If a radio fails to receive a
presence signal it does not immediately lose synchronization. The radio waits for another successful
presence for a time defined by your service provider. This function ensures that communications are
not dropped due to temporary reception issues.
If a gateway or a repeater is unavailable or the radio is not synchronized with a gateway or a repeater,
depending on the setup configured by your service provider, the following scenarios apply:
• The radio falls back to Direct Mode Operation (DMO).
• After pressing the PTT button, a prompt appears warning that the second press overrides the
gateway or repeater operation mode.
• No direct DMO communications are permitted.
MN004527A01-AH
Chapter 2 : Services and Features
15

In the second scenario, while the radio receives individual calls and group calls, and replying to
individual calls is possible, replying to group calls is not possible.
2.5
Numbering and Addressing
Each radio has an Individual TETRA Subscriber Identity (ITSI) used for addressing the radio over the
air interface.
However, it is undesirable to require you to enter a long number to address another radio. To this end,
a set of short number schemes can be used. Alternatively, the radio can be provisioned to treat a short
number as a Short Subscriber Identity (SSI). This scheme can be refined to allow short dialing within a
fleet by combining the ID entered with the radio own SSI.
If the radio is provisioned to treat a short number as a TETRA SSI, and the number entered is fewer
than seven digits, the identity of the radio is combined with the number entered to produce the actual
Individual Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI). Using this scheme, an ISSI can comprise of a fleet number
part and a member part.
The ISSI of the radio is used to determine the leading digits for the digits omitted as in the following
scenario:
1The radio has the following ID: 1234567
2You enter: 890
3The SSI sent is: 1234890
The following services can use the short SSI for identification of both the called and the calling parties:
• Duplex private call
• Simplex private call
• Group call
• Mobile status
• Short data bearer service
• Text message service
If you are provisioned with the capability of entering a real TETRA ISSI and you enter an ID of seven
digits, the number is interpreted as a real TETRA ISSI regardless of the short addressing scheme
used.
2.6
Dialing Methods
The radio supports multiple methods of selecting a number for an outgoing call.
The radio supports the following dialing methods:
• Using predefined One-Touch Buttons
• Dialing from the favorite folders
• Dialing from the address book
• Dialing from the Recent Calls list
• Direct dialing

The Individual Call feature consists of the Telephone Interconnect feature and the Private Call feature.
The private ID number is a number of up to 16 digits. If you enter fewer than 16 digits, the Individual
Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI) part is added to the full Individual TETRA Subscriber Identity (ITSI)
with leading zeros. The private ID number consists of the following items with their respective dialing
scheme:
• Mobile Country Code (MCC) 15–13
• Mobile Network Code (MNC) 12–9
• ISSI 8–1
NOTE: For the MNC of a private ID (digits 12-9), values from 0000 through 9999 are accepted.
The Migration mode supports three types of relative dialing and whichever Mobile Network Identity
(MNI) is assumed when the radio dials an ISSI:
• Relative to Switching and Management Infrastructure (SwMI) – the radio uses the MNI of the
current SwMI.
• Relative to radio MNI – the radio uses its home MNI.
• Relative to current MNI – the radio uses its home MNI when it migrates to another network or the
MNI of the SwMI when the radio has ITSI attached to another network.
Two dialing options are given to the user:
Fixed
Provides up to 16 digits which include the MCC, MNC, and ISSI numbers. If you enter fewer than
16 digits, then the rest is filled with the digits that are set in the codeplug.
Automatic
Provides up to eight digits. If you provide more, it switches to fixed mode. If you enter fewer than
eight digits, the radio fills the rest of the number with its own ITSI.
If you enter more than 16 digits, you receive a prompt informing you of an incorrect input.
If the One-Touch Button is provisioned, you can call an individual by pressing and holding down one of
the programmable buttons.
2.7
Unified Address Book
The radio offers an address book facility, where multiple numbers are associated with a single name
tag. This facility presents an interface to the address book and provides a natural way to call an
individual who can be contacted in different ways.
Each individual can have up to six associated numbers:
• Private (a TETRA ISSI or ITSI)
• Home (phone number)
• Mobile (phone number)
• Work (phone number)
• PABX (local short number)
• Other (phone number)
The Contact List has a maximum capacity of 2,000 Contacts, with up to 1,000 associated Private and
up to 1,000 associated either Phone or PABX numbers distributed among the contacts.

The address book is also accessible through PEI. Using the PEI enables you to read, write, and modify
contact list entries using AT commands.
2.8
Call History
A call history list consists of the following items:
• Last dialed numbers
• Missed call numbers
• Answered (Received) call numbers
Additionally, the time a call is established and all call durations are available. To view call history, press
the down scroll key.
The Call History stack holds private TETRA IDs as well as phone and PABX numbers.
Numbers from the stack may be viewed, selected, and called. However, outgoing duplex calls from
Recent Calls list display in DMO are not allowed. When you scroll through the lists, the entries appear
in the opposite order (the most recent entry is shown first).
When a call is made to a number that exists in the last dialed list, this number is not duplicated in
the list and is moved to the beginning of the list. However, a missed call and received entries are
duplicated in the corresponding call list.
The call history lists are available after next power-up.
2.9
Group Call
The group call service enables the radio to communicate with a group of other TETRA radios using
point to multi-point operation.
This service is available in both TMO and DMO. You can initiate a new group call to the selected
talkgroup or talk back to the existing group call by pressing the PTT button.
2.9.1
Programmable Talkgroups
The radio offers a talkgroup list facility. Each talkgroup entry contains a TETRA group address and
may be associated with a name tag. The talkgroups can be defined in the codeplug as per the radio
capabilities.
Talkgroups are configured separately for TMO and DMO modes. To program a talkgroup in TMO
define its name and Group Short Subscriber Identity (GSSI). To program a talkgroup in DMO define
its name, Group TETRA Subscriber Identity (GTSI) and frequency. The radio operator can select a
talkgroup which has an associated TMO or DMO frequency depending on the mode selected. When
switching between the TMO and DMO modes the last active talkgroup is selected. However the
required talkgroup can be mapped in CPS. In such a case a corresponding talkgroup is automatically
selected during mode switching, regardless of the previously selected talkgroup.
NOTE: Neither the group name nor the corresponding group address can be edited using the
radio MMI.
A talkgroup linked to several networks produces as many new unique talkgroups as the networks it
associates with. For example, if the talkgroup has the same GSSI and network in several talkgroup
folders, one unique talkgroup is created. Alternatively, if the talkgroup has the same GSSI but with
different networks in several talkgroup folders, several unique talkgroups are created for each network.

The GTSI indicates the talkgroup uniqueness. It is a combination of the GSSI and the network
associated to the talkgroup in the given talkgroup folder. The talkgroup folders do not determine the
uniqueness of the new talkgroups.
2.9.2
Talkgroup Folders
The talkgroups are organized in folders. You can select a talkgroup by first choosing a folder and then
the talkgroup in the folder. The size of each folder is flexible and can be defined through provisioning.
The talkgroup folders are organized in a tree-structure:
Level 1 Folders
Can contain any number of level 2 folders.
Placed at the root of the folder structure.
Can contain both level 2 folders and talkgroups at the same time.
Level 2 Folders
Placed in level 1 folders.
Any given level 2 folder can only be sub-folder to one level 1 folder.
NOTE: The radio supports up to four levels of folders.
Figure 6: Talkgroup Tree
A maximum of 330 extended folders can be assigned for additional favorite talkgroups or covert
talkgroups. Each folder contains up to 15 talkgroups that are pre-programmed through the Customer
Programming Software (CPS). If configured in the CPS, you are also allowed to edit the talkgroups
within extended folders. When enabled, you are allowed to add a new talkgroup, delete an existing
talkgroup, or delete all talkgroup from the folder.
2.9.3
Talkgroup Selection
You can select a talkgroup when the display is turned off or turned on while in the idle screen using the
Talkgroup Selector button.
Pressing the Talkgroup Selector button backward scrolls the talkgroup list vertically upward. On the
contrary, pressing the button Talkgroup Selector button forward scrolls the talkgroup list vertically

downward. The radio automatically attaches to the newly highlighted talkgroup after a timeout. The
Menu/OK icon and the Back icon on the Touch User Interface are inactive during scrolling and
talkgroup attachment. The icons revert to active once talkgroup attachment is successful.
You can select a covert talkgroup from the extended folders through the radio menu or Short Data
Service (SDS) Remote Control.
2.9.4
Favorite Folders
The radio supports two favorite folders. The Favorite TGs folder contains TMO and DMO talkgroups
whereas the My Contacts folder contains private and phone contacts. By default, these folders are
already enabled in the radio.
The favorite folders are static links to talkgroups and contacts. Hence to populate the favorite folders,
talkgroups and contacts must be pre-configured in the CPS. To access these folders, select either one
of the folders from the radio menu. Selecting Favorite TGs enables scrolling within this folder. On the
other hand, if My Contacts is selected, you can choose any contacts in the folder to initiate simplex or
duplex calls for the contact. If a contact name has multiple contact numbers, then multiple entries must
be configured in the contacts favorite with one entry per contact number type.
If configured in the CPS, you are allowed to edit the talkgroups within the Favorite TGs folder. When
enabled, you are allowed to add a new talkgroup, delete an existing talkgroup, or delete all talkgroup
from the folder.
A favorite talkgroup range name replaces a talkgroup range name on the radio display whenever a
favorite talkgroup is selected, or is in use for appropriate operation. The ranges of favorite talkgroups
with their talkgroup assignments are kept through the radio power cycle.
2.9.5
Receive-only Talkgroups
Talkgroups can be provisioned as receive-only talkgroups. This setting depends on the settings of the
folder the talkgroup is in. Any talkgroup from the receive-only folder can be selected. The radio allows
you to receive calls, however, no call can be initiated to this talkgroup.
2.9.6
Non-Selectable Talkgroups
A talkgroup can be provisioned as a non-selectable talkgroup. Such talkgroups are not visible when
scrolling through the talkgroup list, and thus cannot be selected.
The group name is displayed only upon receiving a call for the group, for instance, if it is an
announcement talkgroup associated with the selected group, or if it is a scanned one. The radio user is
not allowed to edit the scan list.
