Making a Call to a Radio In Diversion Mode

Your T2020

II

can be programmed to respond to a diversion status report when making a call.

When it detects the diversion status in the acknowledge from the radio it has called, it displays

“DIVERT”,

 to indicate that the call has been diverted. It then proceeds to switch to the pro-

grammed diversion channel.

Emergency Operation (Selcall Option Fitted)

Your T2020

II

can be set to make emergency calls to a preprogrammed party (usually your

base or your despatcher). To use this capability, the radio must be fitted with the Selcall
option, and be connected to a hidden emergency switch. Alternatively, the 

Auxiliary

 (

)

key on the control head may be preprogrammed to send an emergency call.

1. To send an emergency call, operate the hidden switch, or press the 

Auxiliary

 (

)

key. There is no change in the T2020

II

 

control head indicators, but the radio sends a

Selcall emergency code to the preprogrammed party every few seconds, until it receives

an acknowledging Selcall code.

Note:

The emergency cycling option is controlled at the time of programming. If emer-

gency cycling is disabled, then the emergency sequence is sent only once, and no

transmit/receive cycling occurs.

2. The radio then adopts a transmit/receive cycle, which allows the base or despatcher to

monitor activity in the vicinity of the radio.

The radio can be removed from this mode either by receiving a reset code from the base or

despatcher, during one of its receive periods, or by turning the radio off and back on, without

operating the emergency switch.
A trailing alarm tone can be sent with the emergency sequence, if the alarm tone was enabled

when the radio was programmed.

Other Selcall Features

Your T2020

II

may be programmed with other Selcall functions. Consult your Tait dealer for

more information on the following functions:

Quiet Status Interrogation (QSI)

Automatic Numbering Identification (ANI)

Stun

Deferred Calling

Cancel call indicators on remote reset

Altering User Options

While most of the features available on the T2020

II

are able to be customised with the Tait

programming software, some may be directly accessible to you, to alter according to your

own requirements. This is done via the Function menu, as follows:

1. Press the 

Function

 (

Fn

) key, and the item last viewed while in this mode appears in

the display window.

2. Scroll through the items in the display window, by pressing the 

Up

 and 

Down

 (

/

) keys.

3. Most Function menu items have an ‘on’ and ‘off’ setting. To change the current setting,

press the 

Enter

 (

) key.

4. To exit the Function menu, press any of the other function keys. The radio may also be

programmed to return to one of the other modes after a short while, anyway.

The following table shows Function menu options that can be changed in this way.
