Naming Walkie-Talkie Channels - Motorola CA50 Developer & User Manual

Device Modes
There are four walkie-talkie communication modes (for additional information, see
modes tell the device how to handle the channels to which it has access. The modes are:
•
Single Channel Mode
• Users can talk and listen only on this channel.
• The only way to end Single Channel mode is to leave the channel manually.
•
Normal Mode
• In Normal mode users listen on Listen/Talk channels and Listen Only channels.
• Users talk on the default channel only.
NOTE One Listen/Talk channel must be set as the default channel.
• Normal mode is exited when the user manually selects a channel other than the default talk channel,
causing the device to enter Single Channel mode.
•
Scan Mode
• In Scan mode users listen on Listen/Talk channels and Listen Only channels.
• When a user presses Talk, the mode switches to Single Channel mode on the last Listen/Talk channel
heard.
•
Do not disturb Mode
• Do not disturb mode supports an extended period of time when a user wants/needs to be unreachable but
is still able to use the business application. This may be required when a user takes a break or is given a
task that does not require the communication feature.
• In Do not disturb mode the device does not receive any notifications or incoming walkie-talkie
communication.

Naming Walkie-Talkie Channels

There are two options for naming walkie-talkie channels:
•
Default naming: By default, all channels are numbered sequentially up to 32 channels (Channel 1, Channel
2, Channel 3...Channel 32).
•
Manual naming: Channel names can be manually changed in the server application (for details, see
7-24). Names can include alpha, numeric and special characters (-_.,$#*~) and are limited to a maximum of
14-16 characters. An example of channel naming in store might include channels for a sales associate,
front-end and open channels. Channel names are not displayed in the status bar; only the channel number
displays.
