Term Explanation
Key Operation

Long press: to press a key and remain holding it down for a 
predened period (1.5 seconds by default). 
Hold down: to press a key and remain holding it down.
Individual Call 
Individual call is a simplex or duplex call initiated by a single user 
to  another  user,  involving  the  calling  party  and  the  called  party 
only.
Group Call
Group call is a simplex call initiated by a single user to a group of 
users, involving the calling party and all the group members.
Telephone Call
Telephone call is usually a full duplex call initiated between 
PT580H and a PSTN subscriber (such as telephone user or mo
-
bile phone user). 
To send  or receive  telephone  calls, the  terminal  must  operate  in 
TMO mode, and  must be  authorized  to access  public network 
through PSTN gateway. Telephone call  is  a network service. For 
more  details  and  availability  of  the  service,  please  contact  your 
service provider.
Emergency Call
Emergency call  has  the highest  priority, and  is very  helpful  for 
the user  to  request  help  when  emergency occurs.  Generally,  it 
is set  to  group  call  type.  Emergency  call  can  break  off any  non-
emergency calls in progress.
DMO (Direct Mode Operation) 
DMO  mode  allows  terminals  to  communicate  directly  with  each 
other in  simplex  mode,  without  network  restriction.  But  functions 
that require network access such as telephone call will be 
disallowed.
TMO (Trunking Mode Operation) 
TMO mode allows terminals to communicate with each other  via 
the TETRA network, in half duplex or full duplex mode. Functions 
that require network access are supported. 
To operate  in  TMO  mode,  the  terminal  must  be granted  authori-
zation  by  your  service  provider, and  must  be  within  the  network 
coverage.
Air Interface Encryption
An encryption method helpful for protecting message transmitted 
over  the  air.  It  encrypts  data  and  signaling  transmitted  between 
the base station and terminal, to protect the message from eaves-
dropping. 
PT580H Hytera 英文说明书 00(RoHS).ind2   2 2010-12-8   17:26:44
The radio is not intended for use by general population in an
uncontrolled environment. It is only for occupational use and only
applied to work-related conditions.The radio must be only used by 
users, who are fully aware of the hazards of the exposure and who
 are able to exercise control over their RF exposure to qualify for
 the higher exposure limits.

Full Duplex 
Full  duplex  allows  the  ability  to  communicate  in  both  directions 
simultaneously. 
Half Duplex
Half  duplex  allows  the  ability  to  communicate  in  only  one 
direction at  a  time. Two-way  communication  is  possible,  but  not 
simultaneously.

RF Radiation Information
RF Radiation Prole
Radio Frequency (RF) is a frequency of electromagnetic radiation 
in the range at which radio signals are transmitted. RF technology 
is widely used in communication, medicine, food processing and 
other elds. It may generate radiation during use. 
RF Radiation Safety
In  order  to  ensure  user  health,  experts  from  relevant  industries 
including science, engineering, medicine and health work 
with international organizations to develop standards  for safe 
exposure to RF radiation. These standards consist of: 
United States Federal Communications Commission, Code 
of Federal Regulations; 47CFR part 2 sub-part J; 
American  National  Standards  Institute  (ANSI)/Institute  of 
Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992;

2.  Contact the  network administrator,  and  conrm  whether  the  terminal  has  acquired  appropriate 
authorization. 
3.  Check whether your terminal is in TMO mode. 
The  terminal  is  unable  to  make  a 
call. 
1.  Please check the signal strength and see whether your terminal is within the network coverage. 
2.  Check whether the called party is within the network coverage. 
The terminal is unable to call or

content displayed at  the sending 
party and at the receiving party 
varies.
Please check whether both parties have assigned the same content for this status message ID. 
Abnormal disconnection occurs 
during a call. 
1.  Check the signal strength in TMO mode. 
2.  Check whether  you  are in  a place  where the  signals can  be  shielded (such  as basement  and 
tunnel) and whether the other party is out of coverage. 
3.  Check the battery strength.
