Control.

Status Remote Control

Status Remote Control is a feature that provides limited control of the radio, unlike Short Data Service
(SDS) Remote Control.
NOTICE: Only one type of remote control can be active on a radio; either SDS or Status.
The following tasks can be assigned remotely to a radio:
Play loud tone until user interaction
The radio plays a loud tone as in the Man Down feature until you unlock the keypad (if needed) and
press the appropriate soft key labeled Exit. The tone is played through the speaker even if an
accessory is attached.
NOTICE: The tone is not emitted when the radio is in one of the following states:
• In a call
• Temporarily disabled
• Pseudo Off Mode
• Ambience Listening Mode
• Transmit Inhibit Mode (TXI)
• Emergency Mode
• Silent Emergency Mode
• Covert Mode
Send firmware version and TEI
The radio sends back an SDS message with its firmware version and TEI.
NOTICE: If the sending Individual Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI) is not on the Allowed ISSIs
list, the receiving radio ignores the task.
4.9.7.2

SDS Remote Control

NOTICE: This feature is a selling feature.
NOTICE: Only one type of remote control can be active on a radio; either SDS or Status.
SDS Remote Control is a feature that enables remote control and configuration of the radio via special
SDS messages. The messages can be sent both in TMO and DMO (including the Repeater Mode) by
any radio capable of controlling other radios. During the execution of the Remote Control messages,
depending on your service provider settings, the radio can play a tone or display an appropriate icon in
the status icon area.
