2. Changes
What has been
resolved in this
release?
The Firmware version v4.27 resolves the following issues in
the Orca 5030, 5035 and 5040:
• Corrected issue where the volume control was not set
correctly when operating in ‘Handset’ mode. (Raised as
TIMS 15146).
• Corrected issue where ‘Full’ call queuing was operating
in the same fashion as ‘Unanswered’ call queuing.
(Raised as TIMS 26539).
• Corrected issue where the ‘Unanswered Call Timer’ was
double that of the programmed value. (Raised as TIMS
28015).
• If an emergency call is queued it will now be indicated as
having been an emergency call by displaying an ‘E’ in
front of the ‘CL1/1’ in the queue. ie the radio will
display ‘ECL1/1 Unit ID’. (Raised as TIMS 32154).
Implemented
Enhancements
The feature enhancements to the PC Application TOP-TPA
v4.0.1 below were implemented in conjunction with the
Firmware v4.27 changes.
• FOCUS 11764, 15341: Trunked Radio Ringing Options.
(Raised as TIMS 18690). The entire ‘User Selectable’
page has been re-organised to better define the
available options. Instead of one ‘User Selectable’ page
with all options, this has now been broken down into
three separate tabs – ‘General’, ‘Display’ and ‘Tones’.
General
There have been no additions made to this tab. This groups
user selectable items that are not display or tone specific.

• Individual : Allows an eight digit code using numerical
values 1 and 0 to define a ‘ring sequence’ when an
individual call is received. 1 indicates a tone, and 0
indicates a gap.
• PABX : Allows an eight digit code using numerical values
1 and 0 to define a ‘ring sequence’ when a PABX call is

values 1 and 0 to define a ‘ring sequence’ when an
include call is received. 1 indicates a tone, and 0
indicates a gap.
Note: Either Full Off Air Call Setup or Mimic Full Off
Air Call Setup must be enabled and the tone set must
be ’Tait’ for these Ring Patterns fields to be available.
Mimic Full Off Air Call Set Up – new function
• Enabled : This allows the radio to ‘mimic’ the Full Off Air
Call Set Up (FOACSU) functionality when the system
does not support FOACSU.
• Alert Duration : Specifies the length of time the radio
will alert the user when the Mimic FOACSU option is
enabled.
Operational Example
1. Radio A has Mimic FOASCU enabled with an alert
duration of 30 seconds. The system does not
support FOACSU.
2. Radio B calls Radio A.
3. Radio A goes to the traffic channel immediately,
however it begins ringing like in a FOACSU system.
4. Approximately every 6 seconds Radio A transmits a
‘ring’ over the air to Radio B. This indicates to Radio
B that the call is unanswered.
5. Radio A user presses PTT. Radio stops ringing and
communications take place as normal.
6. If Radio A uses does not press the PTT before the
Alert Duration expires the radio will clear the call
down.

Limitation
Due to the called radio transmitting a ‘ring’ over the air
to indicate to the calling radio that the call is
unanswered there may occasionally be instances where
the system or calling radio may issue a clear down and
the called radio will not receive this clear down – due to
it transmitting at the same time.
• FOCUS 14917: Call queuing has been enhanced, with
the label previously called ‘None’ being renamed to
‘Last’ to accurately reflect the operation. (Raised as
TIMS 28390).
When ‘Last’ is selected only the last unanswered
call is queued.
Also when call queuing is set to ‘Last’, instead of the
user having to navigate through the queue menu
structure, the Unit ID of the last missed call will be
displayed on the LCD of a 5035 or 5040. The user may
PTT to immediately call back the unit displayed on the
LCD.

• A transmit and receive CTCSS frequency can now be
defined for each trunked channel block. The CTCSS Rx
field sets the sub-audible signalling that the radio must
receive on the traffic channel before the activity is
regarded as valid and the mute is opened. The CTCSS
Tx field sets the sub-audible signalling that accompanies
each transmission made on the traffic channel. (Raised
as TIMS 29443).
Note: The sub-audible frequency will only be used
on the traffic channel.
Changes to the
TOP-TPA v3.8.0
• Under specific circumstances an application error would
occur when attempting to add a Nokia ANN Fleet.
(Raised as TIMS 28149).
• If attempting to program a conventional radio, the
application would return an error, but modify some of
the fields in the application. (Raised as TIMS 31067).
• The ‘Motion Sensor’ option has been removed from the
‘Worker Detection’ drop-down list on the ‘SOS Call
Options page, as no mainstream motion sensor
accessory is available at this time. (Raised as TIMS
32390).
Compliance Issues None, unless specifically required by Network Operator.
CSO Instruction CSO’s – Please inform all logistics, sales and technical staff
of these changes
