GENERAL FEATURES
or manually through operation of a switch. Variable RF power level provides the
capability of having up to two power levels in one radio, and of operating in high or
low power on a per channel basis. The default power levels in VHF are 5 Watts (high)
and 1 Watt (low) and in UHF are 4 Watts (high) and 1 Watt (low). The two power
levels can be changed in the field by a service technician if other than the default
settings are required.
Smart PTT-Busy Channel Lockout
Prevent users from “talking over” each other by restricting the user from transmitting
if activity is detected on the channel. The radio will generate a continuous tone upon
PTT depress if a transmission is not being allowed. Inhibit Transmit can be activated
for any busy channel or only on a busy channel with a different squelch code. A
quick-key override option can work in conjunction with Smart PTT to allow the user
to override the transmit inhibit state for times when transmission is critical.
Repeater and Talkaround Operation
Allows the user to choose operation through a repeater (where the transmit frequen-
cy is not equal to the receive frequency), or operation that bypasses a repeater and
talks directly to another unit (Talkaround of Direct Operation). When the feature is
mode slaved, the channel is programmed to operate either in the direct or repeat
mode. Alternatively, the repeater/talkaround function can be programmed to the tog-
gle switches where the user can select from the two operating choices in the field.
Coded Squelch Operation
Allows the user to operate a radio in Carrier Squelch, PL or DPL mode. When in the
Carrier Squelch mode, the user will hear all traffic on the selected channel, but when
operating PL or DPL modes, the user will hear only those messages that are intend-
ed for his group. Tone PL and Digital PL can be mixed on a per channel basis.
Low Battery Alert
An annunciator will appear in the display if the battery falls below a specified voltage
level while in the transmit mode. The radio can also be programmed to sound an
alert tone if the low battery condition is detected during transmission or periodically
while in the stand-by mode.
Time-Out Timer
Limits the amount of time the user can continuously transmit on a channel. If the PTT
is held down longer than the preprogrammed limit, the radio automatically emits a
warning tone, then stops transmitting, and will generate a talk prohibit tone until the
PTT is released.
MDC-1200 STAT-ALERT Signalling
Unit ID and Emergency—Each MT 2000 radio can be programmed to send a unique
digital identification code at the beginning of each transmission, at the end, or both.
This ID may be combined with an emergency alarm that is activated by an emer-
gency button on that top of the radio. The dispatcher can quickly identify the radio
user, and also receive nearly instant clear indication of critical situations.
Call Alert and Selective Call Decode
Provides an efficient way for the dispatcher to initiate a
page or a voice page message to an individual or a
group. It is a convenient way to eliminate the need for
users to listen to traffic that does not concern them.
When the user receives a Call Alert, the radio will con-
tinuously generate a series of four tones and flash the
green LED until the user takes action. When the user
receives a Selective Call, the radio will generate alert
tones, flash the green LED, and will unmute so an
incoming message can be heard.
Radio Check
Allows the dispatcher to determine if the radio unit is
on the air and within communications range without
disturbing the radio operator.
Tilt Switch
When equipped with the optional Tilt Switch accesso-
ry, the MT 2000 radio will send an emergency trans-
mission after a preprogrammed delay time if the radio
is tilted greater than 60°.
Touch-Code Signalling
Touch-Code signalling allows encoding of Dual Tone
Multi-Frequency tones via a keypad. This lets a user
access the land-line phone network or gives them the
capability to operate remote control devices. There are
several operational configurations that may be pro-
grammed by the user, including manual or automatic
phone line access, and live or buffered dialing.
Intrinsically Safe
The MT 2000 portable, when ordered with the
Intrinsically Safe option and used with Motorola’s
FM batteries, is approved for operation in hazardous
atmospheric environments by the U.S. Factory
Mutual agency.
ALT
The MT 2000 portable will keep working under harsh
conditions. Like all Motorola products, the radio is
subjected during the design stages to our unique
Accelerated Lift Test (ALT) which simulates five years
of intensive field stress.
Warranty
All MT 2000 radios are backed by Motorola’s One Year
Parts and Labor Warranty for protection against
defects in material and workmanship under normal use
and service.
