Voting scan
The voting scan detects the S-meter level of repeater
stations and automatically selects the strongest station
or the first station to exceed the preset S-meter level,
useful for roaming between 2 or more repeater sites.
Mode slave scan
In the normal mode scan, you can select a scanning list
independent to the channel setting. In the mode slave
setting, the scanning list is automatically selected
according to the operating channel. It is convenient
when you change operating channels or move to a
different operating area, you don't need to change the
scanning setting.

 2-3 Key Features of MDC 1200 Signalling

The MDC 1200 system enhances the transceiver’s signalling capabilities with
Selective call, PTT ID and emergency call functions. It is ideal for a wide variety
of business and industries including security services, plant security,
transportation, etc,. Icom's MDC 1200 compatible models easily integrate into
an existing MDC 1200 fleet cost effectively, while providing the advantages of
Icom quality and value.

What is MDC 1200? Emergency call

MDC 1200 (Motorola Digital Control ) is a signalling
protocol developed by Motorola. The protocol allows
users to send and receive short status messages as well
as messaging updates.
The 1200 in the MDC 1200 name signifies that data is
transmitted at the high speed rate of 1200 bits per
second (Baud) MSK modulation.
MDC signalling is generally managed from a remote
transmitter environment such as Police or Fire dispatch
console.
MDC adds advanced digital features such as PTT ID,
Selective Call and Radio Check, etc. to a basic
conventional radio.
Key Features
Advanced Automatic Number Identification (ANI)
The PTT ID function sends your unit ID number when you
push (or release) the PTT button. The received ID
number can be decoded to a user name using the alias
table.
Selective call (Selcall)
The emergency call feature allows you to send and
repeat an emergency message to dispatch until the
dispatch responds to it. In such a situation, the radio
can transmit anything the microphone hears and the
dispatcher can monitor the background sound.
Emergency “hot mic” monitoring function
If the dispatch acknowledges an emergency message,
the dispatcher can make the radio transmit whatever
the radio microphone picks up for a preprogrammed
period. That way, the dispatch can listen in on the
environment where the call is coming from, to help
identify if an emergency really is taking place or what
else might be going on near the user.
Status communication
You can set up to 16 conditions such as “on duty”, “at
lunch” or “in route” to another unit or the dispatch . You
can also receive it from other unit to know their current
status.
Message communication
You can receive a preprogrammed text message instead
of voice. 16 message codes are programmable.
Other features
•Radio check function
•Up to 5 different MDC profiles are available in a radio
•Call alert function
•External output turns on a connected external device
such as a siren or alarm strobe light, when it receives a
selective call, call alert or emergency call
•Call log displays the received call history including type
of call, caller name and called time

The selcall enables you to call individual or group users

as you desire.

13
 Mobile Radio Installation
¾ INSTALLATION
Start the installation with any mechanical work that is
required for fitting the radio mount, cables, etc.
Before drilling any hole in a vehicle check exactly what is
behind the panel that you are drilling. When drilling a
hole always use a drill with a “stop” so that it is
impossible for the drill to go too far. Take extra care to
avoid petrol tanks and pipes, brake lines, other wiring,
etc. If you have to drill any hole to pass a cable then the
hole must be sealed with a rubber grommet and when
the cable has been passed through you should re-seal
the cable and grommet with a suitable sealant.
If you drill holes for mounting screws, be sure to check
that the screw is a suitable type and length.
Locking type screws, nuts or washers are preferred.
Pay attention to cables inside the passenger
compartment. They should be secured or routed under
carpets etc. There should be no possibility that they
could move and interfere with any control or pedal.
¾ BATTERY CONNECTION
Mobile transceivers are usually intended for direct
connection to the battery. Before disconnecting the
battery you need to be aware of some possible
problems:
1)Is the vehicle fitted with an alarm that may not
operate after re-connection?
2)Is the vehicle fitted with any electronic circuit that may
malfunction after re-connection? (engine management,
traction control, braking control, etc.)‫‏‬
3)If in doubt do not disconnect the battery. Take the
vehicle to an authorized service agent and ask them to
connect the transceiver power cables for you.
If the DC cables are not long enough they should only be
extended using an equivalent size and type of cable and
any join must be capable of handling the specified
current and be well insulated. Always try and route
cables so that the total length is as short as possible.
Connections should be made to the battery terminal
connectors and nowhere else in the vehicle wiring room.
¾If the vehicle uses a different battery voltage (24 volts,
etc.) then a DC-DC convertor must be used. Never try
and connect to an intermediate point on the battery,
etc., that appears to measure 12 volts.
¾ TESTING
Switch on transceiver and check that it functions OK.
Check the antenna matching with a VSWR meter, if
possible, adjust the antenna for a minimum value.
(Don’t forget that doors etc may have an effect on the
measured value!)‫‏‬
Switch on ignition (but not engine) and check that all
instruments, warning lights etc are displaying “normal”
reading. Now transmit and verify that nothing changes
and that no instrument is disturbed. If the transceiver is
multi-mode, then repeat the test with all modes. If the
transceiver is multi-band, then repeat the test in all
operating bands. In each case use the maximum RF
power. If there is ANY disturbance of the vehicle
instrumentation then stop and identify the source of the
problem before continuing.
If the above tests have been completed without any
problems, you can proceed to the STATIC operational
checks.
¾ STATIC OPERATIONALCHECKS
Start the engine of the vehicle and repeat ALL the tests
described in ‘TESTING’. Check that there is no
disturbance of the engine control or engine speed.
With the help of an assistant, switch on the vehicle
lights, indicators, etc. while transmitting. Check that no
unintended flashing or indication occurs.
Stop the engine. If the above checks have been
completed without any problems you can proceed to the
mobile operational checks.
¾ MOBILE OPERATIONALCHECKS
DO NOT PERFORM THESE CHECKS IN CITY TRAFFIC!
Find a quiet road, start the vehicle and while moving
slowly operate the transmitter. Check that brakes, etc.
all operate as normal. Repeat using bands, modes, etc.
as applicable to your transceiver. If all is OK, then
increase to normal driving speed and repeat the tests. If
there is any unexpected reaction from the vehicle
(accelerator, transmission, steering or other in-car
electronic device) then stop immediately and seek
assistance from a qualified installation engineer before
operating the transceiver. If all is OK, perform a final
braking test at normal speed while transmitting.
Finally stop the vehicle, switch OFF the transceiver and
recheck your installation :
•Nothing has come loose?
•No equipment or cable was inconveniently placed for
your driving or your passenger’s safety?
•Vehicle alarm/immobilizer functions correctly?
•All vehicle instruments read normally?
WARNING !
If the vehicle and transceiver installation does not pass
every check without problem you should seek expert
assistance.

2. 2-Tone (Quick Call) was designed to add Squelch
specificity especially for emergency service radios.
3. LMR consists of two distinct signals sent over the air
to a radio or a group.
4. Each tone can be configured within a 250 Hz and
3300 Hz tone frequency.
1.“Stun/Kill – This function allows the dispatch
console to disable, temporarily or permanently, a unit
using the 2-Tone capabilities. When “Stun” is used,
the unit may regain its functionality by entering a
password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains
functionality by reprogramming the unit using the
cloning software.

5. Normally, the duration of the tones varies from one
(1) to three (3) seconds in length no space between
the tones. Tone lengths of up to 10 seconds are
commonly seen in existing applications.
6. ICOM radios allow variable tone periods and spaces
(no tone) between the tones.
2.“Scan Start/Cancel” – Using 2-Tone a dispatcher
can send a signal to a radio or a group to commence
the “Scan” function of the radio. If used with a group
of users, this feature allows the dispatcher to
regroup everyone in a different, but common
channel. This feature is also known as “Radio
Regroup”.

 5-Tone (PMR) Signalling

Why chose 5-Tone?
•5-Tone is a non-proprietary signalling protocol that
allows the Icom radio to inter-operate with other brands
using the 5-Tone signalling.
•This protocol also allows a mixed fleet operation.
•It is faster than 2-Tone by employing a quick data
burst.
•Customers are familiar with the protocol since it is an
Industry Standard in USA, Europe, and Asia.
•Many manufacturers built dispatch consoles with this
capability.
•5-Tone offers flexible muting characteristics.
5-Tone Features
1. 5-Tone allows the PTT ID functionality on the radio.
2. As with 2-Tone, PMR also provides audible alerts,
emergency signalling and Dispatch functionality
making it a workable upgrade to an existing fleet.
***All these functions can be accomplished with
individual radios also.
5-Tone Enhancements
1. The PMR model and radio functionality provides the
programmer with RX Text identifiers. When a
particular 5-Tone sequence is received, a radio with
display will show the alias attributed to that tone
sequence.
2. Where applicable, this radio also has flashing
indicators, variable audible signals and beeps.

function serves as a tool to verify if a unit is “ON” and
within range.
4.“Auto Transmit” – Also known as “Radio Spy” allows
the dispatcher to send a 5-Tone signal to the radio
causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio (Hot
Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening in the
proximity of the radio. This is also very useful in
emergency cases where the user may not be able to
trigger the microphone.
5.“Stun/Kill – This function allows the dispatch console
to disable temporarily or permanently a unit using the 5-
Tone capabilities. When “Stun” is used, the unit may
regain its functionality by entering a password. When Kill
is used, the radio only regains functionality by
reprogramming the unit using the cloning software.
6.“Scan Start/Cancel” – Using 5-Tone a dispatcher can
send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the
“Scan” function of the radio. If used with a group of
users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup
everyone in a different channel. This feature is also
known as “Radio Regroup”.
