Term Explanation
Term Description 
Individual 
Call 
A half-duplex or full-duplex call initiated 
by an individual user to another individual 
user.
Group 
Call
A half-duplex call initiated by an individual 
user to a group. 
Term Description 
Half-
duplex
Half-duplex communication is also called 
“two-way alternate communication”. It 
indicates the communication is provided 
in both directions, but only one direction 
at a time, that is, only one party is allowed 
to transmit or receive at a time. 
Full-
duplex 
Full-duplex communication is also called 
“full-duplex synchronous communication”. 
It indicates the communication is allowed 
in both directions simultaneously, that is, 
both parties can transmit and receive at 
the same time. 
Direct 
Mode 
Operation 
(DMO) 
DMO supports half-duplex operation and 
allows the terminals to communicate 
directly with each other, without using a 
TETRA network infrastructure.
Thus functions that require network 
access, such as telephone call, will be 
unavailable. 
Trunked 
Mode 
Operation 
(TMO)
TMO supports either half-duplex or full-
duplex operation and allows the terminals 
to communicate with each other via the 
TETRA network. Thus functions that 
require network access are available. To 
operate in TMO mode, the terminal must 
be granted authorization by your service 
provider, and must stay within the network 
coverage. 
Items in the Package
Please unpack carefully and check that all items listed 
below are received. If any item is missing or damaged, 
please contact your dealer.

Appendix
SSI&TSI Dialing Rules 
In the TETRA system, subscribers are distinguished 
by different identities. Each subscriber is assigned with 
a unique short subscriber identity (SSI), which serves 
a part of the TETRA subscriber identity (TSI). And TSI 
is generally composed in this way: Mobile Country 
Code (MCC) + Mobile Network Code (MNC) + SSI. To 
initiate an individual call, please dial the SSI or TSI in 
compliance with the rules below. 
 ●SSI Dialing
  Make sure there are not more than 8 digits. 
 ●TSI Dialing 
»MNC+SSI: 
1)   Input the MNC as it is; 
2)  SSI must be 8 digits long. Add 0 before the 
first digit of SSI which is shorter than 8 digits.  
For example, when MNC is 20 and SSI is 504, 
you need to input 2000000504. 
»MCC+MNC+SSI:
1)   MCC must contain 3 digits. Add 0 before the rst 
digit of MCC which is shorter than 3 digits;
2)  MNC must contain 4 or 5 digits. When the MNC 
is shorter than 4 digits, add 0 before its rst digit; 
when it is 5 digits long, use it directly;
3)  SSI must be 8 digits long. Add 0 before the 
first digit of SSI which is shorter than 8 digits.  
For example, when MCC is 460, MNC is 20 and 
SSI is 504, you need to input 460002000000504.

Compliance with RF Exposure Standards 
Hytera’s 2-way radio complies with the following RF energy exposure standards and 
guidelines: 
•  United States Federal Communications Commission, Code of Federal Regulations; 47 
CFR §§ 1.1307, 1.1310 and 2.1093 
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) / Institute of Electrical and Electronic 
Engineers (IEEE) C95. 1-1992   
• Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) C95.1-1999 Edition 
RF Exposure Compliance and Control Guidelines and 
Operating Instructions 
To control your exposure and ensure compliance with the occupational/controlled 
environment exposure limits always adhere to the following procedures. 
Guidelines: 
•  Do not remove the RF Exposure Label from the device.   
• User awareness instructions should accompany device when transferred to other users.   
• Do not use this device if the operational requirements described herein are not met. 
Operating Instructions:   
• Transmit no more than the rated duty factor of 50% of the time.    To transmit (talk), push 
the Push-To-Talk (PTT) button.    To receive calls, release the PTT button.  Transmitting 
50 % of the time, or less, is important because this radio generates measurable RF 
energy exposure only when transmitting (in terms of measuring for standards 
compliance). 
• Hold the radio in a vertical position in front of face with the microphone (and the other 
parts of the radio, including the antenna) at least one inch (2.5 cm) away from the nose.   
Keeping the radio at the proper distance is important because RF exposures decrease 
with distance from the antenna.    Antenna should be kept away from eyes.   
• When worn on the body, always place the radio in a Hytera’s approved clip, holder, 
holster, case, or body harness for this product. Using approved body-worn accessories is 
important because the use of Hytera’s or other manufacturer’s non-approved accessories 
may result in exposure levels, which exceed the FCC’s occupational/controlled 
environment RF exposure limits. 
•  If you are not using a body-worn accessory and are not using the radio in the intended 
use position in front of the face, then ensure the antenna and the radio are kept at least 
2.5 cm (one inch) from the body when transmitting. Keeping the radio at the proper 
distance is important because RF exposures decrease with increasing distance from the 
antenna.  
• Use only manufacturer’s name approved supplied or replacement antennas, batteries, 
and accessories.  Use of non-manufacturer-name approved antennas, batteries, and 
accessories may exceed the FCC RF exposure guidelines. 
•For a list of Hytera’s approved accessories (see the user manual), or (visit the following 
website which lists approved accessories: http:  add website address), or(The 
manufacturer should include the appropriate bracketed item{s} in the manual.)
