Viking Mobile Radio Operating Manual

Radio Wide Features
If multiple Emergency Alarms from different radios are received within the ten second
period while the display is still showing, then only the most recent Emergency Alarm ID is
shown and the ten-second timer is reset.
4.19 Kiosk Mode
A computer may be set up in Kiosk Mode to simplify updating a user’s radio. Kiosk Mode
is a special view mode of Armada that simplifies radio interaction. It hides the entire
configuration from the user so anyone can connect their radio and have clear instructions
about what to do. Kiosk Mode is intended to be run on a remote/satellite machine. It is
more commonly used with the portable radio, but is also compatible with the mobile radio.
Before a radio connects, a screen is displayed, telling you to connect your radios.
Multiple radios may be connected at once. Each radio receives its own portion of the
screen. The user needs to follow the instructions as they display on the screen. (For more
detailed information, please refer to the
Armada Programming Manual
.)
When no radio is connected, a message is displayed indicating a radio may be connected
to start. This, or a similar message while radios are connected, indicate that more radios
may be connected.
When updates are required, Armada displays a single progress bar for all updates. When
the progress bar gets to 100%, the user is instructed to disconnect their radio. The radio
will flash after it is programmed (the identify radio functionality) to help indicate which
radio completes if multiple radios are connected at once.
4.20
Analog Noise Reduction
If your administrator configures Analog Noise Reduction, the radio filters out background
noise on Conventional Analog channels, SmartNet channels, and SmartZone Analog
channels. To use this feature on your radio, an Analog Noise Reduction button, menu
item, or soft button must be programmed to turn on noise reduction.
