5-tone mode. Before using the Major 4, you have to adjust the input and the output levels of the LF. You can congure it for 2 or 4-wire connection. On the rearside you have a connector with PTT input, squelch input, LF input, LF output, emergency output and 12 outputs for channel switching.
Loudspeaker The loudspeaker can be switched on by pressing the loudspeaker button. lt is switched off by pressing the loudspeaker button again. lt is also switched on automatically after call transmission, after pressing the PTT button, and after call identication. The loudspeaker can automatically be swjtched oft by replacing the handset.
Simplex/Duplex Mode To avoid a side tone in case of a two-wire connection the Major 4 has to be programmed for simplex mode. Therefore, the rst digit of register 043 (EEPROM 1) has to be programmed with a '1'. In case of duplex mode a '0' has to be programmed.
Short Call Numbers The Major 4 is provided with 10 programmable short call numbers. By pressing the (Z) key and the following input of a digit between 0 and 9, a precoded call is transmitted. These short call numbers are coded in registers 000 to 009 (EEPROM 2) and may be changed at any time without password input.
9 Different Tone Systems The Major 4 can be congured for various tone systems without any hardware modication. The tone system is selected at the rst digit of register 046 in EEPROM 1 (see the following table). See section EEPROM 1 Programming Mode.

m4_eng(11.03.02) 2 = Transmitter keying is possible only after call transmission or call evaluation. The PTT button release is reset by replacing the handset or by switching off the loudspeaker. Transmitter Rodger Beep The pressing of the PTT button may be signalled by transmission of a tone or the identication. The signal can be transmitted when pressing the PTT button, when releasing the PTT button, or when pressing and when releasing the PTT button.
Acknowledgement The automatic acknowledgement after a selective call can operate in different ways. The acknowledgement mode is programmed at digit 4 of register 033 (EEPROM 1) as follows: 0 = no acknowledgement 1 = acknowledgement with a single tone of 600 Hz, 300 ms 2 = acknowledgement with a tone sequence from register 002 3 = acknowledgement with the identifcation stored last.
m4_eng(11.03.02) tone Sequence whereby tone 'A' is also accepted. In case of successful decoding the loudspeaker and the handset are switched on, the loudspeaker lamp ashes, and the bell tone is started. An acknowledgement is not transmitted. Emergency Call Decoder The emergency call decoder is coded in register 004 (EEPROM 1).
Double Sequences If the system has to operate with double sequences, digit 1 of register 021 (EEPROM 1) has to be programmed with a '1'. Now after every evaluation of decoder 1, a time window of 1 second is opened. The rst ID-code, within the time window, which ts the key tones, closes the time window.
If no further coding are requested, you have to quit the programming mode by pressing the (F3) key. Now the Major 4 is executing a warm start; during this warm start all registers are read in and the programming mode is terminated.

m4_eng(11.03.02) Service Mode Function During service work it can be necessary to switch a certain signal path. Since the processor controls all switches, all analogue switches and relays can be switched by the service program. Processor Board After selecting "Service Mode Processor Board" within the setup menu, the message <Sch> is shown on the left display and the input digit ashes on the right display.
Connector The serial printer is connected to the Major 4 via a 6 pin DIN connector. The connector is wired as follows: Pin 1 = RXD, Pin 3 = TXD, Pin 5 = GND. If a printer with Centronics interface has to be used, we recommend our V24 Centronics interface (article no.

channel is blocked, the operator is requested by a short tone through the loudspeaker to enter a new value. After the input is completed the channel change is transmitted automatically to the channel interface. According to the conguration the operating channel or the old display content is shown now on the left display.
1 = Stop if carrier FFSK Mode The Major 4 can be used in combined networks if it is provided with FFSK option. In this case an FFSK modem operates simultaneously with the 5-tone modem. The Major 4 operates according to ZVEI recommendation (Digital transmission method for call code, selective call and data transmission in the non-public mobile radio network, dated December 21, 1987).
The encoder is congured according to the application requirements and as well for comfortable operation. Logically, you will permanently code those digits which should not be entered via the keypad. The permanently coded tones can be placed at any position of the manufacturer reference and call code.

The loudspeaker and the handset are switched on, the loudspeaker lamp ashes, the emergency call ID-code is stored and ashes on the display.
