Alternating Hot Microphone; Entering Emergency Mode; Exiting Emergency Mode - Motorola MTP830 S Feature User Manual

Feature User Guide
Pressing the PTT button before the Hot Microphone time expires ends the transmission. Then normal PTT operation
takes over (that is, the transition is ongoing for the time the PTT button is held). Subsequent EMERGENCY button
presses during the Emergency Mode initiates the Hot Microphone transmission again.
If a talk permit is granted to another member of the group, the Emergency Call received tone is played. If configured,
the radio automatically attempts to get talk permit again.

3.6.8 Alternating Hot Microphone

The Alternating Hot Microphone is an enhancement of the Hot Microphone feature. It allows you to have the Hot
Microphone switched on and off alternately.
If this feature is enabled, you can initiate the Alternating Hot Microphone by pressing the EMERGENCY button.
The Alternating Hot Microphone terminates when one of the following conditions is met:
• The radio exits the Emergency Mode.
• The Alternating Hot Microphone timer expires.
• The PTT button is pressed.
• End SOFT key is pressed (only during transmission time slot).
To skip your transmission time slot and jump to a receiving time slot, press END key.
When the radio goes out of the service, it enters the receiving mode and the Alternating Hot Microphone
is on hold. When the radio is back to the service, the Hot Microphone transmission and the Alternating
Hot Microphone resume.
When the user is in the Emergency Mode, pressing EMERGENCY button restarts the Alternating Hot
Microphone.

3.6.9 Entering Emergency Mode

Press and hold the EMERGENCY button or enter the Emergency number and press SEND key to enter the
Emergency Mode.
The required time you need to press the EMERGENCY button is set to 0.5 second (by default). The
time can be configured by your service provider.
Upon entry into Emergency Mode any existing call or service other than packet data service is aborted or cleared
down. In the Emergency Mode, the radio automatically rejects private calls. The radio remains in Emergency
Mode until you exit it.
