• (XTS Only) The radio's display and keypad functions are
controlled by the HHCH, if installed. Changes made to the mode
and zone control settings will remain in effect on the radio when
it is ejected from the console. Control is returned to the radio's
knobs and programmable buttons when the radio is ejected.
The NTN1606_, NTN1607_, NTN8560_, or NTN8561_ Console is the
vehicular adapter's central unit. The console comprises an internal radio
battery charger, a radio latching mechanism with lock, and circuitry for
interconnecting the radio, microphone, and external antenna.
When the radio is loaded into the console, the combined radio/
console operates similar to a mobile two-way radio. The radio must
have a battery attached when it is inserted into the console; with the
vehicle switched on, this battery will be automatically charged when
the radio is inserted. Do not insert a battery without a radio. A key lock is
provided on the console to prevent theft when the vehicle is left
unattended. Appropriate mounting hardware is available as an option
to allow installation of the XTVA in various locations in the vehicle.
The XTVA has no On/Off switch. In order to charge the radio's battery,
the vehicle's ignition switch must be turned on. However, the receive
and transmit audio functions of the XTVA are always operational
regardless of the ignition switch condition. These circuits activate
whenever the XTVA detects that a radio has been loaded and turned on.
The operation and controls of the ASTRO XTS Vehicular Adapter
maintain the same functionality as those of an ASTRO Digital XTS or
DIMETRA MTP series radio.
In some installations, the ignition switch is bypassed so that the
XTVA charges the radio battery with the ignition switch turned
!
off. If this describes your installation, be careful not to discharge
the vehicle battery by allowing the XTVA to operate for extended
C a u t i o n
periods of time with the vehicle ignition switch turned off.
Four different types of mobile microphones are available for the XTVA:
the HMN4072_ Palm Microphone, the HMN4069_ Next Generation
Mobile Microphone, the FMN1616_ Hands-Free Visor Microphone,
and (XTS only) the full-featured PLN7737_ Hand-Held Control Head
(HHCH) Microphone.
HMN4069_ and HMN4072_ are palm-type, weatherproof, cartridge
microphones, with transistorized preamplifiers as an integral part of
the cartridge. Each microphone is equipped with a push-to-talk (PTT)
switch on the side, and has a coil cord cable with an 8-pin connector
that plugs into the microphone jack on the console.
The FMN1616_ Hands-Free Visor Microphone is an EMC-approved
DIMETRA accessory that clips to the vehicle's visor and is activated by
an external PTT switch (FLN8834_).
The PLN7737_ Hand-Held Control Head Microphone (XTS only) has a
keypad and a display that duplicates the functions of the radio's
keypad and display.
