Mdc 1200 System Operation; Basic Operation - Icom IC-F3032T Instruction Manual

■ MDC 1200 system operation

The MDC 1200 signaling system enhances your transceiv-
er's capabilities. It allows PTT ID*, Emergency signaling, and
receiving Radio Check. Also, the dispatcher can stun and re-
vive transceivers on the system.
* When [PTT] is pushed and/or released, the transceiver transmits
your station ID.
D Transmitting an Emergency Call
The MDC 1200 system's Emergency feature can be ac-
cessed using the [Emergency] key (p. 7). The transceiver will
send an Emergency MDC 1200 system command once, or
repeatedly for a preset number of times until it receives the
acknowledgement signal.
The emergency call can be transmitted without a beep sound
depending on how the emergency function is preset. Ask
your dealer for details.
D Receiving an Emergency Call
q When an emergency call is received;
• Beeps sound.
• The calling station alias and "EMG EMG" are displayed alter-
nately.
w Turn power OFF, change the channel, push [PTT] for reply-
ing the call, etc. to stop the beep and display indication.
D Receiving a Stun and Revive
The dispatcher can send MDC 1200 system signals that will
stun or revive your transceiver. If a Stun command is re-
ceived that matches your station ID, the transceiver will dis-
play "SORRY" (default) and you can not receive or transmit.
When a Revive command is received that matches your sta-
tion ID, normal operation is restored.
